How do I add a break to a practitioner's calendar?
There are two ways to add breaks to the diary.
If the break will occur regularly, use schedules.
First you will need to follow the steps to open an existing schedule or create a new one.
From here, click the '_ breaks ↔️' button to the right of the chosen day.
Click '+ Add break'.
Enter the start and end times. You can also add a name to label it.
When you are finished click 'Save'.
If the break is a one-off or last-minute change, use the override feature.
Once the calendar override appears, click '+ Add break'.
Enter a name to label the break, and choose the start and end time of the break.
You can also use the override feature to edit an existing break.

💡 Top tip: You can edit scheduled breaks using the override feature too! Any changes you make within the calendar override will only affect breaks on the chosen day. To make permanent changes, you will need to edit the original schedule).
