All set! Close the drawer with Close or select another setting to update for the same appointment types.
A note on calendar assignment and un-assignment
For all the appointment types selected, assign/unassign one or many calendars. Be sure to click Submit after happy with the chosen calendars to include.
When assigning calendars, if an appointment type already was assigned to one of the selected calendars, the calendar in question will remain assigned.
When assigning calendars, other calendars that an appointment type was already assigned to will not unassign
When unassigning calendars, if an appointment type selected was not assigned to a calendar in the first place, nothing will happen.
A note on durations
Batch Update Settings will allow to configure the duration for 1 to 6 patients. Some appointment types do not support multi-patient bookings but will still be given the option to configure the 2+ patient durations. These multi-patient durations may not reflect in the appointment types' normal settings page.
