Appointment Types
Creating and customising the appointment types available when scheduling.
Admin only — Appointment Types are only accessible to users with the Veterinarian role.
Appointment types let you define the different kinds of appointments your clinic offers — for example, Consult, Vaccination, or Surgery. Each type has its own colour and default duration, which makes the schedule calendar easier to read at a glance.
To get there: click Settings in the sidebar, then select Appointment Types.
Adding a new appointment type
Click + Add Type to open the creation form.
Fill in the following:
- Name — What this appointment type is called (e.g. "Consult"). This is required.
- Colour — Choose a colour from the list. This colour will appear on the schedule calendar to help identify appointments at a glance. There are 20 colours to choose from.
- Default Duration — How long this appointment type typically takes. Enter it in hours and minutes (e.g. 00:30 for 30 minutes, 01:15 for an hour and fifteen minutes). This is used as a starting point when booking — you can always adjust the duration on individual appointments.
- Description — Optional. A short note about the appointment type, for your team's reference.
- Active — Toggle this on to make the type available when booking. New types are active by default.
Click Save when done.
