Find Available Appointment
Utilities -> Scheduler
A powerful feature of the Scheduler is its ability to find available appointment slots. However, this feature's utility relies on how well staff members establish rules for their availability with the Set My Availability feature.
To use this tool, click on Find Available Appointment on the top of the Schedule.
You can also access this form by selecting Schedule Appointment from the Demographics Actions Menu.
