- Schedule Days to Sync
- For most clinic environments, the default value of 7 days is sufficient. If your clinic has a high volume of providers and appointments, lowering this value to 1 or 2 days is recommended, since it will reduce Internet network traffic at your clinic.
- However, if your clinic is using Ocean Reminders, you must ensure that the "Days to Sync" exceeds the largest lead time you wish to configure. (For example, if your site wants to send form reminders 3 days in advance of a patient visit, then a minimum of 4 days' synchronization is required.)
- Note: More internet bandwidth is required for longer time intervals for appointment synchronization.
-
- Mark appointments as Arrived in the next (hours)
- This field allows you to define the time range after a patient checks in at the kiosk, in which you'd like to mark their appointment(s) as arrived (e.g. if you set this to 2 hours, any appointments that a patient is booked for, within 2 hours of them checking in at the kiosk, will be flagged as arrived).
