There may be times when you need to modify appointment details—whether that's rescheduling a session, adjusting the duration, or updating other information. Therasee makes it easy to edit appointments while maintaining the integrity of your schedule and keeping clients informed of any changes.

Accessing the Edit Function

There are three ways to access an existing appointment for editing:

From the Calendar View

  1. Navigate to the Calendar tab in the main sidebar (third option)

  2. Find and click on the appointment you wish to edit

  3. When the appointment details panel opens, click the Options button located at the bottom left of the panel

  4. Select Edit from the menu that appears

From the Sessions Table

  1. Go to the Sessions tab in the main sidebar (first option)

  2. Locate the appointment you need to edit in the list

  3. Click on the appointment to open the details panel

  4. Click the Options button at the bottom left and select Edit

From Client Profile

  1. Navigate to the Clients tab in the main sidebar (second option)

  2. Select the relevant client

  3. Click on the Appointments tab within their profile

  4. Find and click on the appointment you wish to edit

  5. Click the Options button at the bottom left and select Edit

Making Changes to an Appointment

Once you've opened the edit panel, you can modify the following details:

For Client Appointments:

  • Date and time: Change when the appointment will occur

  • Duration: Adjust how long the session will last

  • Location: Update whether the session is in-person, online, telephone or at a specific venue

  • Reminder settings: Modify when and how reminders are sent

  • Invited contacts: Add or remove additional participants(Expand "Participants & services section to edit)

For Block Time:

  • Date and time: Update the start time

  • End time: Adjust when the block ends

  • Description: Modify the purpose or notes for the blocked period

What Cannot Be Changed

Please note that certain fundamental aspects of an appointment cannot be modified after creation:

  • The client associated with the appointment

  • The service type (e.g., Initial Assessment, Follow-up Session)

  • The practitioner assigned to the session

  • The recurring pattern

If you need to change any of these elements, you'll need to cancel the existing appointment and create a new one.

Saving Your Changes

After making your edits:

  1. Review all changes carefully

  2. Click the Save changes button at the bottom of the edit panel

Managing Notifications for Edited Appointments

When you save changes to a client appointment, Therasee will prompt you about sending notifications:

  1. A popup will appear asking if you want to notify the client

  2. Select your preferred notification method (Email/SMS)

  3. Optionally add a custom message explaining the change

  4. Choose whether to send or skip notifications

This notification system ensures your clients are kept informed of any changes to their scheduled appointments.

Best Practices for Editing Appointments

  • Edit well in advance when possible to give clients adequate notice

  • Add a personal note in the notification message to explain any changes

  • Check for scheduling conflicts before saving changes

  • Verify reminder settings after changing dates/times
