Your calendar is the heart of your workplace in Halaxy. The Halaxy system is designed so that you can fulfill all your tasks 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, simply 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:
Even at just a glance, the visual elements on your calendar can quickly give you information you need to know.
