1 - The Appointment Planner opens with appointment grid for today's date pre-selected and the cursor moves to first available free time slot.
2 - Default display is for chair A. If option button for chair B is clicked, the display adjusts accordingly.
3 - If any other date is seleted in the Date Picker control, fresh appointment grid for that date is presented (if there are no existing entries for that date).
4 - Default values of timeslots can be altered (e.g. longer slots might be needed for some tasks) - provided it does not intrude upon an already booked timeslot. If any unbooked timeslot gets infringed (even partially), it becomes non-available, so as to prevent conflicting bookings.
5 - Data entry for patient particulars can be done in the subform at bottom right. This form normally functions as a linked child subform to the appointments subform (bottom left), but assumes the role of independent data entry subform as soon as it is clicked directly.
6 - Data entry for job particulars can be carried out in the pop up form displayed by clicking the command button at bottom.
7 - Unbooked records older than one week get deleted automatically.
8 - When a patient makes the actual visit, check box titled 'Complied' should be ticked in confirmation.
