Copy a Template

You can copy an existing daily or weekly template when there is a need for two templates that are same or very similar. When a template is copied, all the information that is associated with the original template is copied to the new template, including time interval, categories, locations, and time slot overbooking allowances. You can then edit the new template as needed for a specific resource. For example, a resource's schedule is the same every week, but the resource is out of the office on alternate Friday afternoon. Copy the first template and then edit the second template to block out Friday afternoons. You can apply the two templates to the resource's calendar by applying each template for alternate week. Another example, Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones have the same schedule, but they work from different locations. Copy Dr. Smith's template and then modify the location on the second template for Dr. Jones. The two templates can then be assigned to the appropriate provider's calendar.

Templates

Templates determine the basic structure of the appointment book in NextGen® Enterprise PM. You can create weekly and daily templates to define various schedules for a resource in the practice. Each template assigns event categories and locations to specific blocks of time. One or more templates are then assigned to a resource's calendar. Using the templates makes the appointment scheduling process much easier and reduces scheduling errors, conflicts, and overbooking of appointments. For example, if resource is not available in the office on Wednesday afternoons, you can create a template that automatically prevents anyone from scheduling office appointments for the resource on Wednesday afternoons. If you have a staff meeting every Tuesday at noon, you can include that in your scheduling templates.
