At a Glance
Resizing an appointment changes how long it is booked for — extending or shortening the slot — so the diary matches the treatment actually being done. ClinicSoftware.com lets you drag to resize, updating availability around it instantly.
What does resizing an appointment do?
Resizing adjusts the appointment's length in the diary, so the time reserved matches the treatment. ClinicSoftware.com lets you drag the edge to make it longer or shorter.
Why resize rather than rebook?
When a treatment needs more or less time than booked, resizing keeps the same appointment while correcting the time, so availability around it stays accurate without cancelling and rebooking.
