General Settings

TIP

In Sophia, this tab is simply called "Settings". To avoid confusion with this whole explanation, we call it General Settings here.

On this tab, you adjust how Sophia behaves: your calendar, prescriptions, appointments, and the Physio Planner.

Calendar

Calendar color preference: choose the color your appointments are shown in on the calendar.
Show only my calendar: hide colleagues' appointments in your calendar view.

More than two months between appointments allowed: enable this to allow appointments that are more than two months apart on the same prescription.
Warning remaining sessions on prescription at # sessions: enter the number of remaining sessions at which you want to see a warning. Enter -1 to turn this warning off.
Warning almost expired approvals (days): only visible if enabled for your account. Enter how many days in advance you want to be warned. Here too, -1 turns the warning off.
Use today as default prescription date: turn this on to automatically fill in today's date on a new prescription.

Default appointment duration (minutes): the duration pre filled on a new appointment.
Always send appointment confirmation emails: if you enable this, every patient with an email address receives a confirmation email, regardless of the setting you chose per patient. Sophia asks you to confirm first, since this overrides each individual patient's own preference.

WARNING

Enabling this setting means Sophia ignores every individual patient's own preference for confirmation emails.

TIP

This part is only visible if the Physio Planner is enabled for your account.

Automatically confirm appointments via the planner module: appointments a patient books themselves online through the Physio Planner are confirmed automatically, instead of you having to approve them by hand.
Minimum hours in advance for planner bookings: how many hours ahead a patient must at least book through the Physio Planner.
