About

Offices can define any kind of rotating or alternating schedule they want. From the Schedule window, enter individual work hours, holidays, lunch hours, and staff meetings.

To edit schedules, the Schedules - Practice and Provider security permission is required. The schedule may be blank until a provider or employee is selected and refresh is clicked.

Once schedules are entered, open/closed hours will be indicated in the Appointments Module with the background colors set in Definitions: Appointment Colors.

Each day is represented by one cell. Today's date and schedule shows in red text.

Double-click a day to open the Schedule Edit. Add employees or provider time to the schedule, or change the schedule for one day.

Filters

The filter options on the left control what shows in each cell.

Use the Copy / Paste areas to quickly create or edit the schedule.

Copy: Copy a day or week's schedule to the clipboard. This is a useful tool (with Paste/Repeat below) to quickly fill the schedule.
