Sidebar Appointment Book

For users with wider screens its possible to have the appointment book to permanently show on the right hand side of the screen. The functionality is basically the same as for the multi-column appointment book, with a few exceptions. Of necessity, the smaller available space means that the display has to be a bit different, and the functions and buttons altered slightly.

Activating/deactivating the Sidebar Appointment Book

To activate or deactivate the sidebar appointment book go to Configure->User Settings. In the bottom section under Appointments tick Display Sidebar. Click Save to recognise the change.

You will need to log out and back in for this change to take effect.

Upon logging back in you will see appointment sidebar

This appointment Book provides the following elements/options:

This shows the day and date of the currently displayed book(s).
Click the down button to select another day.

This field displays the current appointment book name. You can use either the up/down or the

button to select another book (or books) to display.

These buttons shift the appointment book display backwards (6 months, 1 month, 1 week, 1 day) or forwards (6 months, 1 month, 1 week, 1 day), relative to the currently displayed date. To return the display to today's appointments, with the book centred around the current time, click the Today button.

Each button represents an appointment book (when Multi-column appointment books are enabled). Click the button to make that appointment book the main focus and widen the column. In the example, the RGP appointment book has the focus.
