Move or Rebook an appointment

Move or Rebook an appointment

There are two ways to move an appointment:

  1. Drag and Drop; and,
  2. Right Click > Rebook

Rebooking allows the appointment to be moved from one time slot to another without leaving a copy of the appointment in the previous time slot.

Note:
For non-theatre booking, all details are copied from the source to the target appointment, except
  • Start Date and Time
  • Appointment Status
