Working With Locations For Multi-Site Practices

If you have set up your locations as physical practice locations instead of rooms (or as well as rooms) then you can tie them to your online bookings through your work hours.

For example, if you work from "Warringah Health Centre" on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but work from "Warringah Podiatry" on Thursday and Friday you can set this up through 'Appointment Types' linked to your work hours.

Step 1
Open the 'Administration/Practice Details' menu and click on the 'Rooms & Locations' tab. Click the 'Add New' button at the bottom and enter the details of the practice's physical location.

You can set up locations that are at a diffent physical practice

Step 2
Open the 'Administration/User Details' menu and double click the user you want to apply the locations to. Click on the 'Appointment Types' tab, then click on the 'Add New' button at the bottom to create a new 'Appointment Type'.

You can allow online bookings for multiple practice locations for the same practitioner through 'Appointment Types'

Step 3
Click on the 'Work Hours' tab and click the 'Edit' button to assign the 'Appointment Type' to your work hours.

You can assign different appointment types, and therefore locations, to your working hours

Step 3
When your patients book online they will be able to select the practitioner in 'Step 1' and then the appointment type in 'Step 2'. The different appointment types will only allow bookings to be made against their location. Also, as the appointment types were assigned to work hours the different locations will only be available on certain days.
