EXACT can be configured on a user-by-user basis to allow the Appointment Book to be displayed in a sidebar, ‘clipped’ to the side of the screen, regardless of what window is displayed by the current menu option chosen by the user:
In this example, the Appointment Book is shown displayed with a Patient File record open. If the Patient File is closed, or another window is opened, the appointment book will be unaffected and still displayed.
Due to the restrictions of available computer screen “real estate”, the Appointment Book will only show the day view for an appointment book. There is no view week area and no activity section. The sidebar appointment book can be dragged to be as wide or narrow as you wish, but if you make it too wide, the main screen may be chopped off.
This feature is especially recommended for users with widescreen monitors.
The length of an appointment can now be altered by clicking on the bottom border of the appointment ‘box’ with the mouse, and dragging it down (to make the appointment longer) or up (to make it shorter).
You cannot use this “click-and-drag”method with a coordinated appointment; this must be edited by double-clicking the appointment.
