Adjust Time Slot View
If appointments that are close together are looking cramped in your Appointments calendar, then you can change the view of the time slots to make them larger.
Note: To change your user settings, you must have a role assigned to you that gives you editing permissions for Users. For more information on roles, see here.
1. Go to the Settings page, then the Users tab.
2. Select yourself from the users list.
3. Scroll down to Calendar settings.
4. Select a smaller time slot view from the Slot duration dropdown.
5. Click Save in the top right-hand corner of the page.
Your Appointments calendar rows will now be larger and more spaced out:
You can change the time slot view at any time by following the same steps as above and selecting another Slot duration from your user settings.
If appointments timing on needs to start earlier or later on your Appointments calendar, you can change the view of calendar. Please base this on the earliest possible appointment and the latest possible appointment.
Note: To change your user settings, you must have a role assigned to you that gives you editing permissions for Users. For more information on roles, see here.

2. Select the user who you want to change the calendar start for.
3. Scroll down to Calendar settings.

Your Appointments calendar is updated with the new starting day:
Sync Semble Calendar with Other Calendars
You can sync your Appointments calendar in Semble with any calendar that allows subscribing to appointment feeds by URL.
The sync is currently one-way, meaning your Semble calendar can be added to an external calendar, but changes made externally will not sync back to Semble.
1. Go to the Users tab.
2. Select yourself from the list of users.
Note: You cannot sync your general calendar—only a clinician’s appointments can be synced.
3. Scroll down to the External calendar section, then click Generate calendar link.
4. Choose whether you want patient names to appear in the external calendar.
5. IMPORTANT : Click Save in the top right-hand corner before copying the link.
6. Open up your user again and copy the URL link to your device's clipboard.
7. Go to the external calendar that you want to link with.
8. Click the add calendar icon/button.
9. Select From URL.
10. Paste your copied URL into the URL of calendar box.
11. Click Add calendar.
The Semble calendar will now appear in your Other calendars:
Note: The frequency at which the calendar updates is controlled by your calendar provider, and not by Semble.
