Schedules
Set doctor availability, configure booking rules, and generate shareable booking links for patients.
The Schedules page is where you define when each doctor is available for consultations. A schedule controls the days and times a doctor can be booked, along with rules like slot duration, breaks, and how far in advance patients can book, this is what powers the Appointments and Pending Bookings pages.

FAQs
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Setting Advance Booking too short: if it's too restrictive, patients may not be able to book far enough ahead
- Forgetting to add Break Times: without this, patients could end up booking into a doctor's lunch or rest period
- Leaving old schedules active instead of archiving them: this can cause confusion when multiple schedules exist for the same doctor
