Automatically minimising sessions after they end
To have EMIS Web automatically close sessions once they finish, make sure you have the appropriate permissions and follow these steps:
- Open the Appointments Configuration: In EMIS Web, select Appointments > Appointment Book from the main menu. Then, on the ribbon, click Appts Config.
- Go to User Options: Find the General section under User Options and look for Your Session View Settings.
- Set the automatic closing time: In Sessions appear closed after, enter how long you want a session to remain visible after its scheduled end (for example, 15 minutes). Choose Minutes or Hours from the dropdown.
- Save changes: Click OK (or equivalent) to confirm your settings. The session will collapse automatically once this period has passed.
Tip: This feature is useful for busy surgeries, making your Appointment Book easier to navigate and reducing the chance of mixing up active sessions with older ones.
