You can now create custom practitioner schedules in addition to the default schedule.
To add a custom schedule to a practitioner do the following:
- go to the practitioners list
- click on the edit icon
- click the AVAILABILITY tab
- click the plus icon to the right of the DEFAULT schedule
- provide a schedule label
- add a start date
- add an end date
- submit the new schedule
After you add a new schedule you will be able to set the start and end times for each day as usual. You can review the custom schedules for each practitioner from the practitioners list page, the practitioners view page, and the practitioners edit page.
Furthermore, when you are viewing the visual calendar; and viewing a single practitioners sessions, their availability will take into account any custom or default schedules.
For example; if you have a DEFAULT schedule for September to June and a SUMMER schedule for July to August, when you are viewing sessions that are within September to August the DEFAULT schedule times will show. On the other hand, if you are viewing a month on the calendar that is July or August, the SUMMER schedule times will show.
This feature is extremely helpful if you typically schedule sessions many months in advance and your practitioners have different availability from month to month. Each unique schedule can be a little as 1 day in duration so you can also use this feature to keep track of vacations or designated days off.
The adding, editing and deleting of custom schedules are done within the edit page of the practitioner. We would like to get your feedback with respect to managing custom schedules en masse. For example, adding or revoking schedules to all practitioners at once with a couple clicks. If you have some ideas for this, please contact Bizstim. We welcome your suggestions.
If you have any questions, please contact support at mail@bizstim.com.
Sincerely,
The Bizstim Team
