How Do I Manage My Calendar?
Your Atlas.md calendar shows all of your clinic appointments and personal time blocks in one place. From this page, you can view schedules, create appointments, block off time, and sync your calendar with external calendar apps.
You can view the calendar by month, week, or day, depending on how much detail you need.
Viewing and Filtering Calendars
The Atlas.md calendar lets you view:
- Just your calendar
- Another provider’s calendar
- Everyone’s calendar
To change what you see:
- Click the Select Calendars dropdown
- Check or uncheck the calendars you want visible
This makes it easy to focus on your own schedule or see the full clinic schedule at a glance.
Each provider’s calendar can also be color-coded, making it easier to differentiate between schedules.
Adding a New Appointment
To add an appointment or event:
- Click the plus icon in the upper right corner
- Select the appointment date and time
- Decide if the appointment is a multi-day event
- Choose the patient (optional)
- Select a resource (optional)
- Choose whether the appointment should repeat, and if so, how often
- Select the doctor responsible for the appointment
- Enter a description if needed
- Click Add New Appointment
The appointment will now be added to your calendar. You can update its status at any time by selecting the appointment and choosing one of the five preset statuses.
Syncing Your Atlas.md Calendar with External Calendars
You can subscribe to your Atlas.md calendar from external calendar applications such as:
- Google Calendar
- Apple Calendar (iCal)
- Microsoft Outlook
- Other calendar applications that support the .ics format
This allows your Atlas.md schedule to appear alongside your other calendars.
Atlas.md provides two types of calendar feeds:
- Detailed Calendar: Shows appointment details when viewed in an external calendar
- Busy-Only: Shows only busy time blocks and hides all patient information
To subscribe to a calendar feed:
- Click the Select Calendars dropdown
- Click Subscribe
- Copy the desired calendar link and add it to your external calendar

Changing the Color of Your Calendar
To change your calendar color:
- Open your Profile from the sidebar
- Click Edit Profile
- Select the current calendar color
- Choose a new color from the list
This helps visually distinguish different provider calendars.
Changing the Default Appointment Length
If your clinic uses appointment lengths other than the default 30 minutes, an administrator can change the default setting.
To update the default appointment length:
- Open the Calendar
- Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner
- Select Calendar and Appointment Settings
- Choose the desired default appointment length from the dropdown menu
- Click Save
This default appointment length will also be used in the Atlas.md Patient App when patients request appointments.
