I am having difficulties with this - I don't see an 'appointment type' OR a 'block-off
type' table in the system tables.

Can I add a new table? What Code should it be? There are several options in the drop
down menu.

text below is from the tip of the week (unsure of the date)
"To enhance the clarity of appointments and block-offs, utilize the Appointment and Block-off Type tables in System Tables to further customize the look of your Appointment Calendar. Use these custom colors to differentiate appointments, surgeries, vaccinations, meetings, or any other scenarios needed at your practice; giving you the ability to distinguish appointments and block-offs at a glance.

To create a list of customized colors please follow the steps below:

1. Go to Work With, System Tables
2. Select the new Appointment Type or Block-off Type Table.
3. Right-click, New to display a new “Type Entry” window. This will allow you to define a code, description, and color.

To select the appropriate type simply utilize the Type dropdown within the new or change appointment window and the scheduled and ad-hoc block-off windows."

Please help?
Thank you

What version are you on?

I ask, because we didn't have the ability to use colors until our last update.

If you had the ability, you would also notice it in the actual appointment; a drop down window with the ability to add new colors/ descriptions.

Hi Terina,

We have version 2011.0.3.1

I do see a color option drop down menu in a New Appointments Type Entry window, but since I don't have a code established, it won't let me save a new color. :/

Anne,

Do you already have the following tables in your system table?
"Appointment Type" & "Block off type"

If you do then you should be able to add a new entry to those tables. The code can be anything you want as long as they are unique. We set the codes to be abbreviations of the description so that it’s easy to figure out what the entry is. Just make sure you don’t have two entrees under the same table with the same code. You can have multiple of the same codes as long as they are in different tables.
