View Day Area

The ‘View Day’ area displayed below shows an example of colour-coding for each provider's day as follows:

Blue appointments for provider RGP
Brown appointments for AP
Pink appointments for SM
Green appointments for JES
Bright Green indicates a double-booked appointment.
Grey colouring (if any) represents blocked time (i.e., the provider is not available to work).
The background colour (pale yellow) indicates available appointment time.
The red diagonal lines represent clinics that have been set-up. Clinics are designed to set time aside for particular types of treatment, for example, general anaesthetic procedures or emergency time.
‘Payor’ clinics that allows only private patients, or patients assigned to a specific payor to be booked into the clinic time are distinguished by diagonal stripes that are drawn from right to left, unlike the current clinics which are drawn left-to-right.

NOTE: Colouring of appointment block is set up in the Configure menu, under "Appointment Book". See To Create an Appointment Book (To Create an Appointment Book, Creating an Appointment Book for a Provider) for more details.

The scroll buttons on the top right hand side of the appointment book are used to move the ‘View Week’ area to display other days as described below:

	Always returns the display to the current day (i.e., today).
	Moves back / forward in time 1 day from the current day displayed
	Moves back/forward in time 1 week
	Moves back in time 4 weeks
	Moves back in time 27 weeks (27 weeks rather than 26, to avoid problems with users accidentally booking two appointments within a 6 month period (Note insurance rules)).

Weeks behaviour: This behaviour ensures that the current weekday (as selected in the week view area) is also selected when you move forward/backward,

So, for example, if you're currently looking at a Friday, pressing these buttons will move to a Friday. The behaviour of the similarly named buttons on the view months window is the same.

Click the drop-down arrow on the top left hand side of the appointment boo to display a calendar. Select a date by clicking once on the required day. The appointment book will move directly to (and display) that day

The top of the appointment represents the start time of the appointment while the height represents the appointment length. For example, the following appointment starts at 4.30pm and lasts for 30 minutes.
