Working With the Calendar on a Tablet

Are you using your calendar on a tablet? Great! Here’s how to do it.

Once you log in to your Atlas.md account, locate the calendar by tapping the sidebar icon that resembles a clock.

Creating a New Appointment

To create a new appointment from the calendar section, follow these steps:

  • Tap the plus icon at the top right of the screen
  • Tap the date of desired appointment from the calendar. Use the left or right arrows to transition between months.
  • The resulting day will show times already blocked off in another color – tap the blocked out slots to see what’s scheduled there
  • Enter the patient the appointment is for – once you begin typing, Atlas.md’s autocompleter will give you a list of names to choose from.
  • Here you’ll also have the option to notify the patient that the appointment has been created. To see which address the notification email will be sent to, tap the information icon next to Notify Patient.
  • Tap Add New Appointment to add the appointment to your calendar.

Subscribing to a Calendar

Subscribing to a calendar isn’t a subscription per se. What it means is that you’re consenting to sync your Atlas.md calendar with your Apple iCal, or Microsoft Outlook calendar.

When an event is added to one of these calendars, they’ll sync with any calendar application that supports the .ics format. This isn’t mandatory and you can unsubscribe whenever you like (more details on this below).

In the mean time, to subscribe to a calendar, follow these steps:

  • Tap the dropdown labeled Select calendars near the top of your calendar screen
  • Here you’ll see a list of all the available calendars you can either view on your device or subscribe to
  • Tap the calendars you want to subscribe to, and then click Subscribe.
  • On the resulting pop-up, confirm your action, then choose be done, or to view the events of the calendar you’ve just subscribed to

Unsubscribing From a Calendar

If you’re using iCal, you can unsubscribe from a calendar by following these steps:

  • In the Settings menu of your iPad, tap on Mail, then Contacts, then Calendars
  • Tap on Subscribed Calendars to see your subscriptions
  • Tap the subscribed calendar you wish to delete
  • Tap the Delete Account button at the bottom of the display
  • Confirm your action by tapping Delete again
  • The subscribed calendar is deleted and will no longer appear your iPad’s calendar list

Viewing Select Calendars

To choose which calendars to view, tap the dropdown labeled Select Calendars near the top of your calendar screen.

Tap a calendar from the resulting list to either add it or remove it from your view.

If there is an “x” next to the calendar, that means it’s currently being shown – tapping the “x” will remove it.

Switching Between Calendar Views

If you’d like to view the entire month, a certain week, or even a specific day, you can do so by tapping the appropriate view button in the upper-right corner of the calendar screen.

Go back to the current day anytime by tapping Today in the upper-left corner of the calendar screen.
