The Exceptions Tool allows you to temporarily block the schedule from accepting appointments without affecting the clinic's regular set up. It also allows you to open blocks of time not normally available for appointments. Exceptions can be for one or multiple providers. They can also be for parts of a day or entire date ranges.
Go to Utilities - System Setup - General - Schedule Settings - Exceptions tab
If Schedule is open you can also click on Settings on the bottom left corner
There are numerous options for creating exceptions. Use the pull-down selectors to choose:
- By Provider
- By Visit Type
- For a date range or for specific hours on one day
- To allow or prohibit appointments
Be sure to include both a From and To date to avoid blocking the entire year.
