Scheduler Views

Log into Enterprise Health

Click Scheduler from the left sidebar menu.
If you have the preference in My Settings of FORCE DEFAULT RESOURCES set to Yes, your scheduler view will show all the resources (physicians) schedules that you have added an appt for or edited an appt for. To only show one resource, make sure this is set to No.
The LIST VIEW / MULTI VIEW & WEEK VIEW tabs at the top:

If you (the logged in user) are a physician – your Scheduler default will be set to you in the drop-down. Your default view will be your own schedule of appointments. If you (the logged in user) are not a provider that sees patients for appointments, you will need to set your default Scheduler view. Simply click the provider you wish to default to in the drop-down and/or specific location and click the SAVE button to the right of the screen under the mini-calendar. This will then be your default view. You will need to set this default view before using “pocket” mode.
If you see the words No resources defined in the drop-down of providers in the Scheduler, you need to either create a department named SysSched and tag any providers or rooms that have appointments scheduled to them.

OR
You can have your MIE Implementer change the system setting to point to a specific department instead of the default Scheduling Realm department (SysSched department). Whatever this is set to – the users/rooms that have appointments scheduled to them need to be in that specific department.
