If you are a Hosted customer of ours, The Web Booking add-on section allows a user to set up and manage their TM2 online bookings webpage.

From this webpage, patients can book available appointments and classes directly into your TM2 diary. They can log in if they have an online account already set up or register a new account and book an appointment making them a provisional patient.

Practitioners are also able to log in a view their diary for the day either on a PC/laptop or a mobile device.

What is a Temporary Appointment?

A temporary appointment is created in TM2 when an appointment time is first chosen using the online pages. When the booking is confirmed via the online pages, the status is changed from temporary to standard. This is to stop any double bookings between practice appointments and online appointments. If the user closes the webpage before the booking is confirmed, then the temporary appointment will be held. These temporary appointments need to be cleared at regular intervals.

You can clear these appointments by clicking Clear Temporary Appointments or allow TM2 to do it for you every 30 minutes.

The second tab for the Web Bookings is the Settings tab.

In this tab, you can enter your business name that will appear on the header of the online bookings page. The checkboxes allow you to set up your online bookings page in different ways.
