AppointmentBook - Time Slot Setup

Accessed by:  Schedule -> Time Slot Setup

(Facilities are added by going to Lists > Addresses and adding an address categorized as a facility)

This screen is used to tell the system which time slots to show on the Appointment Book for each different facility that has been added. By default, time slots that are active start at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM and occur every 15 minutes. Select the time slots that you want displayed in the appointment book for each facility. The time slots you select here will apply for each day of the week and determine how the appointment book looks and how schedules that are printed appear.

 

Begin by selecting a facility from the drop down list. If time slots have not been setup yet, the defaults will show automatically. Time slots that have a YELLOW background and the "Active" value set to "YES" will display on the appointment book for the selected facility. To change a time slots Inactive status, simply click on the Active cell for the time slot that you want to make Active or Inactive.

Each facility can have different time slots displayed in the Appointment Book. Even though a time slot is set to be displayed, it can still be blocked off on the schedule as not available. For instance, you may want to display time slots from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM since a facility is open at 7:00 AM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and open at 8:00 on Tuesday and Thursday. In a case like this you would display time slots starting at 7:00 and set the operating hours for each facility and each day of the week on the Schedule Templates screen (click here to learn more).

 PLEASE NOTE! If you change a time slot to Inactive after already scheduling appointments in that time slot, those appointments will NOT display on the Appointment book. The appointments will however still be counted in statistics.
