Using an Appointments list

If you are a clinician, the Appointments list defaults to your appointment book, if you are not a clinician the default is blank.

From here you can:

  • Select Refresh for the Today AM or Today PM tabs.

  • Tick Booked only to hide unfilled appointment slots.

  • Select from the list of available Books Owners to change the book that displays.

Each appointment line displays:

  • Time - The time of the slot. When an appointment overruns the following slot(s) with a long expected duration, the slot(s) overrun are greyed out, although you can still book appointments in them.
