When creating appointment rules it is possible to add higher priority appointment rules that will overlay other appointment rules for that user. For example, a clinician may have an appointment rule from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with appointment type Routine Consult at 30 minute duration. You can add a new rule and set the priority to a number higher than the original rule (e.g. from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. the clinician’s appointment type is for Follow-up appointments only).
