Restricting Appointment Types Allowed in a Session

This is an optional step, whereby you can restrict which Appointment Types can be booked into each Session Type. For example, you may have a Consultation Session Type and restrict it to only allow the following appointment types:

  • Initial Consults 
  • Reviews

Notice

If an appointment of the type displayed has ever been booked into a session of the type you are editing, then you will not be able to untick Allowed for that appointment type.


To restrict what Appointment Types can be booked into a Session Type:

  1. Click Administration.
  2. Select Appointments from menu.
  3. Select Calendar Session Types sub-menu.
  4. Click Show on the session type you want to add restrictions to.
  5. Scroll down to Allowed Appointment Types section and click Edit.
    1. You will be presented with a list of appointment types that match the session Category (e.g. Consultation, Procedure or either if the session type is a Hybrid).
  6. Tick the Allowed box to allow users to book each type of appointment into the sessions of that type.
  7. Click Update Calendar Session Type.


For example:

  • If you have created a Consultation session for a provider and booked appointments of type Further Review into that session.
  • Then you edit the Allowed Appointment Types for session type Consultation,Further Review appointment types would be allowed and could not be un-ticked.
