Who can update a Daily Schedule?

Users can only update their own schedules. Supervisors and lead workers depending on their security level have the ability to update the schedule for individuals in their unit.

Why would I schedule a recurring appointment?

A user has until the end of the day, on the first working day of the month, to update their schedule to prevent review appointments from being scheduled in specific time slots. Blocking your time slots allows the user to control the date and times AUTO schedules review appointments. This also allows users to make review appointment timeframes fit their personal schedule.

NOTE: Users have the ability to block times or set recurring appointments for up to 12 weeks. See How do I schedule a recurring appointment?
