The Default Resources tab on the Add Event or Edit Event window is used when an appointment for a specific event should always default onto one or more schedules in addition to the resource for which the appointment is already being scheduled.
For example, when a Procedure event is scheduled with a provider, the appointment should also default onto the schedules for the Nurse resource and the Procedure Room resource.
Note:
- It is important to understand that in addition to the resource selected when an appointment for the event is scheduled, the appointment will also be scheduled with all default resources. In other words, if there are two default resources defined for an event, the appointment will be scheduled for three resources.
- While scheduling a new appointment, if the preference Automatically select default resource(s) when creating new appointment is selected, then when the events are changed the corresponding default resources link to the appointment. If the preference Automatically select default resource(s) when creating new appointment is not selected, then when the events are changed the corresponding default resources will not link to the appointment.
- For an existing appointment, if you edit the appointment and change the events the corresponding default resources will not link because the appointment is already booked for the previously selected resources.
