Why set up a time zone for my Waiting Area?
The Waiting Area allows you to set up a virtual front door to your practice to connect with callers. You can also learn more about the Waiting Area from here.
This Waiting Area can also be configured to match the timezone that you are residing in to ensure that your callers can connect during your actual operating hours.
How to set the time zone for my Waiting Area?
- Sign into Coviu as you normally would.
- Click Configure on the left-side menu (if you can't see the Configuration menu, then you are not the Administrator for your clinic).
- Click the Waiting Area tab.
- A list of all your configuration options will be shown.
- Select General configuration.
- Select Time Zone using the dropdown box and select the relevant zone for your clinic.
- Click Save once you have selected your preference to save your changes.
