ezyVet only: Planning guides as a method to configure available appointment times
An optional method to configure available times for appointment requests with the Vello client portal is to use ezyVet planning guides.
- Helps make sure that clients make appointment requests only for the days and times that staff are available
-
Prevents appointment requests at times that staff are not available or at times that your practice is not open
The planning guide method is an alternative to configuration of available days and times for appointments directly in Vello. The planning guide method is good to use for veterinary staff who are available for appointments at many different days and times during a week.
Christina Langley is DVM at Callisto Vets, a veterinary practice that uses ezyVet with Vello. Christina's calendar in ezyVet has a planning guide configured. The planning guide uses an appointment type of Wellness (15 mins).
- Monday, 9:00 AM to 9:45 AM
- Tuesday, 10:00 AM to 10:45 AM
