Tip: Create a New Appointment without Asking
Posted: Mon May 18, 2009 7:36 amBackground If you click into a blank /open area on the Scheduling screen, you'll be asked if you'd like to create a new appointment for that date, time, and resource. You can bypass this dialog by holding down the shift key when you click. If you'd rather not have to hold down shift, and would prefer to just create a new appointment when you click in a blank slot, then this mod is for you.
Editing Scripts So there are two places you'll want to edit in the script "Edit Appointment { Column , Type }" in order to always create a new appointment when you click on a blank space.
The first is at the end of the "WEEK & SCHEDULING (Vertical)" section, right above the comment "Scheduling Horizontal". Add the following lines (in blue):
Next, at the end of the "Scheduling Horizontal" section there is a comment like this "GTRR failed, no appointments for this cell." Delete the following Perform Script line and replace it with the following lines (in blue):
Note that when you click on a slot where there is an appointment, you'll bring up that appointment instead of creating a new one. If you want to force the calendar to create a new one instead, then you can still hold down the shift key to do that.
Enjoy!
