Using the Boarding Calendar

Boarding Calendar: Setup

To set up your boarding calendar (if it hasn't been already), go to Admin > Scheduling and navigate to the 'Boarding Resources' tab.

Note: If you've already set up your calendar, head to the next section.

Once that's open, click the 'Add New' button. This take you to a new boarding calendar resource section, where you can create one location where you're able to board a patient.

Repeat this for all places you're able to board a patient.

Adding a new location in boarding calendar resources

Activating the Boarding Calendar

Once you've added your resources, head to your clinic settings (Admin > Clinic Settings > Edit Clinic Settings), and set the Boarding toggle to 'On.'

Boarding Calendar: Tips & Best Practices

• Make a 'Boarding' location under clinic settings to add to any patient with a SOAP in boarding

• Because you can only schedule two patients in one slot per day, make a boarding resource for each location you can board patient, like

  • Kennels (of each size)

  • Runs

  • Cages, etc.

• For added transparency, you may want to create an appointment type for pickup/drop off to use on your practice schedule
