Appointment Book Groups in Dental4Windows

This feature is used to group selected appointment books into one view, rather than viewing all books at the same time.

There are three common scenarios for setting up groups:

  1. Group by Specialty: Practices with various specialties find it simpler to group books in this way. 
  2. Days of the week: On Monday, only books working on Monday will show.

Groups can only be setup when in a Multiple Book View within the Appointment Book.
