Multiple events grouped together are called an Event Chain. Each individual event within an event chain is called an event chain member. You can schedule the events in a defined sequence.
Note: When you create an event chain in Scheduling Administration, you must specify if the event chain needs to be scheduled sequentially or the sequence does not matter.
Open NextGen® Enterprise PM.
From the main toolbar, select the ApptBook button.
The Appointment Book window opens.
In the Daily, Weekly Schedule or Multi-View tab, select the resource, date, and time slot for the first event in the event chain.
Do one of the following:
From the Appointment Book toolbar, select Add Appt .
Right-click the time slot and select New.
Double-click the time slot.
The Add Appointment window opens.
In the Event/Event Chain field, select the desired event chain.
Note:
Event chains appear with a chain link icon.
After you select the event chain, the duration appears automatically. It includes the default time duration for all the Member Events in the selected event chain.
You cannot change the duration time for an event chain.
If the selected resource is assigned with duration override, then NextGen® Enterprise PM calculates the event chain duration automatically.
You must assign a resource for each event in the event chain.
Note:
You must select at least one resource for each member event in the event chain. If you need to change the time for a member event, select the arrow next to the Resource field, and change the event time.
You can edit an event chain to schedule appointments for the member events of the event chain across multiple days.
Enter the details for the mandatory fields in the Add Appointment window, to schedule an appointment.
