About Schedule Templates Editor
Path: Practice Management tab > Schedule Templates button
Schedule Templates provide a framework for appointment scheduling by designating the times for seeing patients and indicating the types of appointments that are preferred throughout the day. It also helps to designate times that are blocked when patients are not seen.
User Permission: Permission must be granted to those individuals responsible for schedule maintenance. Go to Utilities > Manage Practice > Staff/Provider Directory > Security Access to assign the following permissions: Schedule_Manage_All_Slots, Schedule_Manage_Own Slots, Schedule_Manage_Templates. |
The Schedule Templates editor window creates the schedule templates. In the Schedule Templates Editor you can:
- Create a new template
- Apply Multiple Templates & Multiple Locations
- Copy Schedule Templates Between Providers
- Create a Schedule Using Slots
Note: If your provider's schedule changes weekly (and does not have a default weekly schedule), you will benefit from using the slot feature from the Calendar. See Creating a Schedule Using Slots. |
