There are two places that should be considered when changing availability on an appointment:

It's important to understand which active Calendars your pharmacy is using, and how Appointment availability interacts with Calendar availability.


Appointment Availability

  1. Navigate to the settings menu by selecting the three dots icon on the left navigation panel.

  2. Select Appointment Types

  3. Search for and Select the Desired Appointment Type

  4. Select Calendar Availability

On the appointment settings page, the "Calendar Availability" button offers options:

  • Default Settings: Keep settings as default to align the appointment with the assigned calendar's availability.

  • Overlap with Custom Availability: Select the check box for custom availability to provide the appointment with its unique schedule, distinct from the general calendar.

Or, pharmacy's have the option of using One-off Availability

  • One-off Availability: Use one-off availability for specific days, beneficial when hosting clinics on designated days.

    • Use the Danger Zone one-off calendar availability toggle.

    • Add specific dates and times for this appointment to recur.

By following these steps, you can tailor the calendar availability settings for your appointments, ensuring a flexible and personalized scheduling system.


Calendar Availability
