  • If choosing the “Default” option, the selected credential will auto populate in any session notes and/or funder report templates that include the field “Licensure/Credential”

Optional: Client Assignments

Click on Client Assignments and Assign to add clients to a staff member.

 

  • This same step can be done under Clients> Staff Assignments. It does not need to be done in both areas for the staff member to have access to the client

The times that are set as UNAVAILABLE will appear grey on the calendar and you will get a warning if an appointment is being booked during this time but you will still be allowed to schedule.

  • Multiple time spans in a day can be added by clicking the plus sign to add a line to any day. This would allow for split availability within any given day. For example, a staff that is available from 8am to 11am and then 4pm to 6pm

Optional: Reminders

Click on Reminders and select the checkbox next to Email and/or SMS depending on the communication channel(s) that specific staff would like to receive appointment notifications through

  • If appointment reminders are not enabled in Settings, the Reminders tab on the Staff Profile Level will be greyed out and users will not be able to make any changes

  • EX: A company sets up reminders in Settings for staff to receive notification 1 hour before appointment start time. Staff with permissions can override that here to choose if they want to receive the reminder 2 hours before appointment start time or 1 day in advance

  • If selecting to receive notifications via SMS, a phone number is required before clicking save
