In the Main Menu, select Setup | Operatories.
Click the Add button or double click an operatory in the list to edit:
Notice that each operatory can be assigned to a Clinic, Dentist (Provider), and Hygienist (Provider). So any Appointment that is placed in this operatory will automatically be assigned to use the same Clinic, Dentist, and Hygienist. This is done by carrying those three fields as well as the "Is Hygiene" indicator onto the appointment which has the same four fields. You can then change the appointment if you need to. The label above the operatory in the Appointments module will show the same color as the color set for the Dentist or Hygienist.
Once your operatories are entered, you can set up Appointment Views, which can include only some of the operatories. But appointment views won't change the order of the operatories; that should be done here.
