How to use the DuxWare Schedule Templates

DuxWare Appointment Scheduler can be configured in two ways. One is using the Default Schedule and the second is Weekly Templates or a combination of both may be utilized.
Weekly Template configuration enables provider schedules to handle  “special” or variable scheduling situations while the Default Schedule handles providers with a fixed schedule.

The Schedule Builder page is broken into three sections. The Default Schedule Setup section, the Schedule Template Setup and the Existing Schedules list at the bottom. Existing Schedules list contains all of the providers that have schedules in DuxWare. It also indicates (in parenthesis) the type of schedule the provider has defined. (Default) indicates that there is a Default Schedule in use by the provider and (Weekly) indicates that there is a Weekly Template in use by the provider. (Default, Weekly) means that there is a combination of both types in use for the provider.

Default Schedule –  this is the schedule configuration that will be used if no weekly templates have been defined for the provider for the week being viewed. The default schedule is good for providers who stick to the same schedule each week and can manage their day or week by using schedule blocks to block out particular times and days.

Weekly Schedule - providers that require variable schedules or have specific days or weeks where they may want to use a particular template can be configured using the Weekly Schedule Templates. The provider can have a different schedule for every week of the year using this configuration, however, in most cases providers stick to regular intervals.

Note: When building the provider schedule for multiple locations, it helps to look at the schedule from the Location point of view rather than the Physician point of view.
