Booking reflects the change
Busy time entries block diary slots for non-client activities such as staff meetings, training sessions, lunch breaks, or equipment maintenance. When plans change, ClinicSoftware lets you edit the title, time, duration, or recurrence of any existing entry, or remove it entirely. For recurring entries, you can choose to modify or delete just the selected occurrence or every instance in the series — keeping all diaries accurate in seconds.

Pro Tips
When editing a recurring series, always check whether future instances should also be updated — the system prompts you, but the choice matters.
Remove outdated recurring entries promptly — ghost busy blocks confuse staff and waste bookable slots.
If a meeting time changes, update the diary before sending staff a new invitation to avoid double confusion.
Use the reason field when deleting a recurring entry so the change is understandable in the activity log.
