Create an event

Events let you:

• Indicate when someone is unavailable and can't be scheduled with patients.

Events are similar to appointments but don't include patients.

1. Select Create Event under a provider or resource's name
   or
   Double click the schedule grid at the time and under the provider or resource you want to schedule
   
2. Enter a title
   • The title appears at the top of the event on the grid.
3. Enter a description
   • The description appears on the body of the event on the grid.
4. Choose an event type  
5. Check that the availability status for the event type you chose is appropriate for the event you're creating
   • Information Only: The event doesn't affect availability.
     • For example: Label which provider is the primary today or show when the auditors are touring the clinic.
   • Busy: The event is counted as an activity for the purposes of double-booking.
     • For example: A special staff lunch event when providers could be double-booked if required.
