   You can open your Scheduler from the Home ribbon bar or Quick Access toolbar, or from several locations in the patient folder.

   If you have multiple Scheduler tabs open, clicking a patient appointment link will bring the left-most tab to the front of your Edge Cloud window. Note that before you click the link, you can reorder your tabs by simply dragging them into place, thus selecting which Scheduler tab you want to work with. See "Scheduler User Options" for details about enabling/disabling the multiple Scheduler option.
