​Booking page title: Enter in your title that will appear at the start of the booking form.

​Phone number: You may like to add your practice contact number to appear on your portal should a client need to reach you.
​
​Confirmation Policy: This will appear once a client has completed their booking.
​
​Terms and Conditions link: If you have a Terms and Conditions page on your website, you can place a link to it here so that it will also appear on your Client Portal.
​
​Privacy Policy link: Similarly to the Terms and Conditions link, Β if you have a Privacy Policy web page you can place the link here.

Booking Form settings


​Standard form fields (mandatory): By default, the fields for the First name, Last name, Date of Birth, Email, and Mobile number will be required to complete the booking.

Optional Fields: Client Time Zone, Client Address, Medicare, Credit Card and Comments can be enabled and set as Mandatory for the booking.

Provide client forms/documents to download: Use this feature to provide your client with forms such as "consent forms" or "intake forms" for download ahead of their first appointment. You can add up to three files that can be downloaded by a client on the Details screen when booking online. Customise the text to your needs.
​
​Allow clients to upload documents: Enable your clients the ability to upload their referral, completed form, or any further info you require from the patient prior to their appointment. The files will be included in their 'Files' page under a folder named Client Portal Uploads.
​ 
πŸ’‘ You can use the download and upload documents options to load a intake form that the client can fill in and then upload back before completing their booking!


Booking Settings

Appointment lock-out: Define how soon a client can book an appointment. The number you set here ensures that clients will need to book at least that many days in advance.

Minimum notice for cancellations: Define the time-frame for how late a client can cancel their appointment.

Client's appointment confirmation: Your client will receive a confirmation email after they have booked their appointment through the client portal. This is where you specify what the email will state, or select Default email to use our default email template.
