Creating a Programme Group without appointments

If you wish to run a programme that facilitates a walk-in workflow, your programme group will not have appointments or an associated schedule. 

Setting up a Programme Group without appointments facilitates pre-registration so that all client details are registered in advance of their appointment.

 

To add a Programme Group without appointments you must have selected No to the Will this programme need appointments? question when your programme was created.

To create a Programme Group without appointments

  • From the top bar click on More > Programmes.
  • From the Manage Screening Programmes page, click on the name of the programme you wish to add a group to.

  • Click on the programme name > click on Groups > Click on Add new group

    • Name: Give your group a clear and informative name that will help you easily identify it. 
    • Code: This is for internal use only. It is recommended that the code is descriptive.
    • Invitation Code: This is an individual group code that is system-generated. This can be used to provide a client with a direct invitation to the specific group.
    • Description: This allows you to provide some additional information to clients specific to this group. 
    • Status: The status can be either active or archived.
      •    Active - is the default option and indicates a Group is currently in use.
      •    Archived - can be selected if a Group is not currently in use.
    • Location: One location is allocated per group. Choose the appropriate location for the Group from the dropdown list.
    • Available Products: All products that you have created will be available, select the required products by ticking the boxes. Multiple products can be selected for each Programme Group, if required.
