Customizing Calendar Appointment Types and Calendar Appointment Statuses

In "Instance/Settings/Patients", you will find sections to customize both sets of parameters. As in all Settings, simply click "Add item", and enter your custom item, and click "Update". For calendar appointment types and statuses, you can also assign a display color.

In the Calendar, the types and statuses will display, and allow for filtering on the navigation panel, on the left side of the calendar. To filter, and view only one or more desired views (appointment types) or statuses, simply click on the color ovals corresponding to your selection.

Personal Settings

On the left side of the calendar you have the navigation panel. At the bottom you can access your personal settings.

Once a new appointment log appears, enter:

  • Provider
  • Client Name
  • Appointment Start & End times (duration will be automatically calculated)
  • Appointment Type, select from your custom options
  • Appointment Status, select from your custom options
  • If applicable, mark the appointment as Billable
  • If applicable, mark the appointment as All Day
  • You can add appointment notes
  • You can set the appointment as recurring

Note: As soon as you select the Client Name, the relevant information will appear under the Client Info section. Once the appointment has been saved, you can click into this information to go to the Patient Chart.
