Your practice has regular hours, probably posted at the entrance to your practice or in the reception area. Occasionally you’ll need to change those hours for a specific day. In the Appointment Book, you can change your practice schedule or close the entire office for a single day. And using Dentrix to change your practice hours will help you avoid accidentally scheduling appointments when your office is closed.
Watch this video to learn how to change practice hours for a specific day. (Duration 0:48)
Additional Tips
- Changing your hours of operation for one day does not reschedule appointments that were already scheduled for that day. Check the changed date and reschedule as needed.
- In the Select Time dialog box, you can drag the “slider” to set the time.
- As shown in the Set Time Limits dialog box, Dentrix allows you to break each day into three ranges of time. To clear a time-block in the Set Time Limits dialog box, click the search button, and then click Cancel in the Select Time dialog box.
- To learn more about changing office hours for a specific day, read Changing Office Hours for a Day in Dentrix Help.
