Editing this instance of a Template
You can change the Begin and/or End Time (or duration) of a single instance of a Template using the Edit this instance option under the Template Sheet Bar heading.
An instance of a Template is one occurrence of that Template on the Scheduling Grid. For example, you defined a Template that blocks the third Wednesday of every month for 3 months for Dr. Cuddy in OR #1. A single Wednesday during that 3 month span is an instance of the Template.
To edit an instance of a Template:
-
Open the Scheduling module.
-
Click the Template on the Scheduling Grid.
-
Click Edit this instance under the Template Sheet Bar headingTemplate Sheet Bar heading. (Alternatively, you can right-click the Template on the Grid and select Edit from the right-click menu.) A dialogdialog appears.
-
You can change the Begin and/or End time for the Template. The time format is based on a 24-hour clock. You do not need to enter a colon or a.m. or p.m. (e.g. Begin: 0700, End/Length: 1500). The Duration noted in parenthesis after the End/Length time automatically adjusts to reflect your entries. The End/Length field also accepts a duration in minutes, so you can enter 300 as the number of minutes, and the notation in parentheses will show the End time instead of the Duration.
