Booking Templates are set up to preconfigure a variety of templates for the different types of bookings offered at the Practice. By setting these up in advance, the Practice ensures a smoother and more efficient booking process, as all essential details will already be populated on the Add/Edit Booking screen. This not only saves valuable time when booking in Patients but also promotes accuracy, consistency, and a seamless experience for both the Practitioner and the administrative team.
?Please Note: Booking Templates are set up per Diary, ensuring that each Practitioner’s booking options are tailored to their speciality, schedule and requirements.
This user manual will start on the Settings screen, User Settings tab.
