What is the difference between Inactive and Hidden Schedules?
An Inactive schedule has been permanently disabled from the system and is no longer visible on the Schedule screen at any time. No appointments can be scheduled on it and no changes can be made as long as it is Inactive. This is meant to preserve a historical schedule in case the data is needed for reports or other hospital functions in the future.
A Hidden schedule is still active, but it has been temporarily removed from view on the Schedule screen. This is controlled via the Schedule screen itself using the Show/Hide feature. Use this when a schedule is tied to a unit that will be temporarily unavailable to schedule against, such as a doctor’s schedule when they are on vacation, or if a unit’s physical space is undergoing renovations and they cannot accept patients until it is finished.
How do I group schedules together?
Group Schedules allow you to link multiple schedules into a single group on the schedule screen, such that they can be turned on and off simultaneously using the check box on the left hand side. Using this feature, each individual schedule will become its own column on Day views, so that you can have a full map of schedule availability for all schedules in the unit or service area.
