Editing Appointment Length

EXACT automatically adds the time required to complete each Service into an overall appointment length.

The estimated time to complete each Service is defined in the Service File.

To assist Reception Staff to accurately schedule the patient’s future appointments, it is possible to change the estimated time for each appointment in the Current Course of Treatment area.

To assist the provider, notes can be added to an appointment, for example a reminder to check a tooth that had been causing the patient discomfort.
