Scheduling Times Setup

Use the Template Editor to define the time of day you schedule patients.

How to get here - As you create or edit global templates, you are prompted for time details automatically. When editing an individual scheduling template, click Modify Times from the Template Editor ribbon bar to open the time-of-day setup window.

Time of day details
- Time interval - Enter the number of minutes to assign to each time slot in your schedule. If you change the time interval, click Update to save that change. Note that if you change the time interval as you edit an individual scheduling template, any appointments already scheduled keep their number of minutes, and are adjusted to cover the number of time slots required by the new time interval.
- Time ranges - Click [+] to create a time range, then enter the starting and ending times. If you have an extended break during the day, you can create multiple time ranges that omit that period of time. For example, you might have a time range from 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM and another time range from 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Your schedule will then not permit you to appointment patients during the hours of 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM. You can also select an existing time range, then click [ - ] to delete it from the template. Note that you cannot edit an existing time range, you must instead create a new range and delete the original as needed. (If you delete time ranges as you edit an individual scheduling template, any appointments scheduled to those ranges remain active, but can no longer be seen on your screen.)
