Mapping with Holidays at the end of the week
*NOTE: only needs to be used when holiday is at the end of the week (not a Monday).
Step 1: Create a user named ‘Holiday’
Go to Settings > Security > Users and create a user called ‘Holiday’. Make this user a practitioner with a default service and appointment. (it is recommended to name ‘zHoliday’ to keep this user separate from other practitioners.)
Step 2: Add Hours for the ‘Holiday’
- Go to Settings > Appointments > Hours and select the ‘Holiday’ user.
- Create a shift by adding hours for the holiday at the end of the week (Starting date should always be Sunday before the holiday week).
- Set the days and hours that you will be away.
This way, during those weeks where you have a holiday, instead of appointments being mapped for the following week, they will be scheduled during the holiday with ‘Holiday’ practitioner.
Step 3: Reschedule the appointments with Holiday
Simply reschedule the appointment to an earlier date in the week and make sure to select the correct doctor.
