Your calendar is the heart of your practice in Halaxy. The Halaxy system is designed so that you can run your entire practice from the calendar screen.
From your calendar, you can:
-
Create appointments (which also automatically creates invoices and scheduled reminders)
-
Move appointments around by clicking and dragging them
-
View and modify appointment details, including patients, fees, referrals and claiming information
-
Access the invoice, clinical notes and reminders linked to each appointment
-
View your practice hours at each of your locations
-
Create personal appointments so that patients cannot book you during those times
-
Delete or cancel appointments
-
Set up tasks for your to-do list
-
Add one-off custom availability for a single day
To quickly access your calendar from any page, click Schedule > Calendar on the side menu, or click the Halaxy logo on the top left.
At the top of your calendar, there is a control bar that allows you to navigate your calendar and customise your calendar view:
