Purpose: The diary is set up with pre-fixed time slots eg 15 minutes. The purpose of this function is to extend / make your appointment longer. Eg If you book a procedure that will take longer than the normal time slot OR the medical practitioner needs more time with the patient, you can extend the appointment by adding more time slots to the same appointment. You don't have an option to extend it by indicating extra time, but only by adding the already created time slots available. You can choose between two setting options:

1. Your booking can show the same patient's full details on all the added time slots; OR
2. You can only show the full detail on the first time slot and use " markers on the added time slots. Some practitioners prefer this so that it does not look like the time slots are filled with more than one patient.
