About

The Appointment Types located in the Appointment Types table of OP (Practice Management > Appointments > Appointment Types tab) are used to create the Appointment List located in the Dashboard of the Practice Portal. Additionally, the Appointment Types are used for appointment reminder notifications with OP Notify. If an Appointment Type was changed in this table in OP, there is a chance the previous Appointment Type is still attached to a scheduled appointment, visit template, or patient chart which would prevent appointments from displaying in the Intelichart Practice Portal and appointment reminder notifications sent using OP Notify. 

What To Do

Simply run the provided SQL reports in Database Viewer to query your database to find any Appointment Types that may be "orphaned", or attached to an Appointment Type that no longer exists in the table. These SQLs target the three areas of your system where Appointment Types are used: 

• Scheduled Appointments
• Visit Templates
• Patient Chart (Default Visit Types)

If you are not familiar with utilizing Database Viewer, review the Run a Query section of OP Database Viewer Basics.
