      How to Set Your Waiting Area Operating Hours

      This article describes how to set the working hours for your Waiting Area.

      Last Updated: July 2024

      TIP:

      You would only set the working hours if you are using our Waiting Area feature. The Waiting Area feature is available on the Standard plan, Premium and our custom Exnterprise plans. You will also have access to it while in your "Trial" period.

      There is no need nor option to set the working hours for a clinic on the Essentials plan.

      Note:

      • The Waiting Area feature is available to customers who are on these plans only:
        • Standard (also the Trial plan)
        • Premium
        • Enterprise
      • Not sure what plan you are on? Click here to find out.
      • If you are on a custom Enterprise plan, you can click here to find out how to get this feature set up.
      • The Waiting Area feature is different from our Waiting Room. Click here to learn the difference.
      • To configure the Waiting Area, you must be the account Owner or Administrator.
