With this content type, we will pretend that we are in an office that gives appointments to its clients. The content type Name and Description values are self-evident.
The Title field label will be Name, since it will contain the name of the person who has the appointment.
The selected Default options will be Published and Revision. We are selecting Published because we want appointments to be active and set as soon as they are saved.
Promoted is not set because we don't want the appointments to be displayed on the front page like an article, nor do we want the most recently entered appointment to be the one shown. We will want the appointment nearest to the current date and time to be shown.
Sticky is not set because we have no need for any appointment to remain on the front page.
Finally, we do set Create new revision, so that any time an appointment is changed, Drupal will save the previous version rather than simply overwriting it.
We will make no changes to the default settings on the other tabs since they meet our needs, and so they do not appear in the list. With our list complete, on the administrative menu, we can click Structure, then Content types, and then the +Add content type button, which will lead us to the page at /admin/structure/types/add. Once there, enter the information from the form, and after ensuring that the Default options settings are as they should be, as shown in the following form, click the Save and manage fields button:
