How Can I Manage Shared Appointment Resources?

Shared appointment resources allow your clinic to schedule and manage items used by multiple staff members, such as:

• Examination rooms
• Diagnostic equipment
• Microscopes
• Any other shared clinic resource

By adding these resources to Atlas.md, staff can see their availability directly in the scheduling window and avoid double booking.

Adding a Shared Resource

Before a resource can be scheduled, it must first be added to your clinic’s shared resources list.

To add a resource:

• Open the Calendar from the side navigation
• Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner
• Select Shared Resources from the dropdown menu

• Enter the name of the resource you want to add
• Click Save

Once saved, the resource will be available to all staff members for scheduling appointments.

Booking a Resource for an Appointment

When creating an appointment, you can assign a shared resource if one is needed.

To book a resource:

• Create or edit an appointment
• Locate the Resource dropdown in the appointment window

• Select the resource you want to reserve
• Save the changes

If no resources appear in the dropdown, shared resources have not yet been added.

What Happens if a Resource Is Already Booked?

If a resource is already scheduled during the selected time slot, Atlas.md will display a notification showing who currently has the resource reserved.

You will not be able to book the resource for that time until it becomes available.
