How Do Changes to Booking Settings Affect Existing and Future Appointments?
When managing bookings within Appointedd, adjustments to settings such as resource assignments and appointment timings are common. It’s crucial to understand how such changes impact your existing and future appointments to manage your schedule efficiently.
Key Principles
Effects of Updating Resource Assignments
Changes made to resource assignment settings will only apply to future bookings. Any appointments that were booked prior to this change will remain unaffected unless you manually adjust them.
Effects of Modifying Appointment Timings
Updates to appointment schedules and timings (for instance, changes to availability on specific days) do not retroactively alter existing bookings. Appointments created prior to the update will continue to follow their original schedule.
If your updated schedule overlaps with an existing booking, that timeslot will automatically be marked as unavailable for new bookings.
Manual Modifications
Existing bookings can only be adjusted by manually modifying or moving them. System-level changes to resource assignments or timings will not automatically impact these appointments.
Summary
Understanding the effects of changes to booking settings helps you maintain clarity and control over your schedule. Updates to settings such as resource assignments and appointment timings apply only to future bookings, while existing appointments remain unaffected unless manually modified. This ensures that your schedule remains consistent and minimises disruptions.
