Dentrix Ideas

More Time Blocks per provider & other improvements

Ability for more customization and flexibility of time blocks (set them up at random) and click and drag them across operatories to move them. Set up a time block several times a day for one doctor (no limit). Allow notes to be added to time blocks. Should be able to assign more than six time blocks total to a provider, more than two a day and more than 12 per operatory. Set up filters for Billing Type as well as Procedure. Customize the colors. Clear time blocks for just one day or operatory. [3955 151963]

    This needs to be a priority! There shouldn't be a limit on time blocks per a provider and you should be able to use a time block more than once in a day. How is this not fixed yet. Please vote everyone.

    The amount of havoc this one limitation reeks on our practice is actually insane... This is one of the biggest reasons why Dentrix is for dinosaurs. At what practice are providers only scheduled with 6 appointments. This is utter madness and likely a quick fix on their end. SHAME ON YOU

    Please make more than 6 time blocks per provider!! Essential for block scheduling!

    Completely agree. In order to template my provider's schedules, I need more than just 6 time blocks. And the ability to move them would be very convenient as well. I'm disappointed that this issue was brought up in 2019 with no action.

    I am a pediatric dentist and am trying to setup a template in Dentrix, but my office manager informed me I can only setup 6 time blocks. I explained that has to be a mistake, because in the past with Eaglesoft, you could make templates easily, and adjust the time as the provider became more efficient. My office manager called Dentrix, but the rep said you can't setup more than 6 time blocks per a provider per chair. Is this correct?

    When utilizing Perfect Day scheduling more than 6 set time blocks per provider is needed. We have several providers in our practice that would love to utilize perfect day scheduling but are unable to because of this limit. For example we have a provider that does two columns of alternating resto appointments leading to a need for 10 blocks in one day just for resto appts.

    As Becky said below - I agree with all of this. This is really a limiting factor, esp with online scheduling.

    More than 6 perfect day schedule limit needs to be released. With no minimum, to be able to customize it to each office needs. To make it a perfect day schedule.

    Also be able to schedule a block more than 1 time on the same day. Like 60 minutes for exam at 7:00AM and 1:00PM (with out having to make 2 blocks for the same thing)

    This is BADLY needed. I've had to create many fake providers to made our schedule work.

    We would love to have you guys add time limits with the time blocks. Like the operatory setup. We like to have buffers in the middle of long appointments and we can't create more.

    I need more appointment blocks. My doctor's schedule is different each day (except Tues/Thurs are the same) and I have used up all available blocks for 7 providers just to set the doctor's schedule. I am a day and 1/2 short. We should be able to chose different days and times for the same block name instead of renaming it every day.

    Rhonda, have you tried to make a "fake dr"... that way you can use their blocks ... just assign them to the ops you need extra blocks for!

    It would be very helpful to be able to color-code by procedure in the appointment book. That way, if we are in weekly view, we could see at a glance the type of appoinments that are already booked. For example, we could make sure we don't schedule multiple perio maintenance or scaling appointments back-to-back for our hygienist.

    someone made fake Dr. suggestion to me also, I will have to try that, but 6 blocks is not enough for what we want to accomplish. It's almost set up backwards by having to select the op. I want to set up the block, then pick which op, which day and which time I need for any given day. Right now you can only pick one time of day on that given day. Also want more room for the description.
