From the Staff Directory (/dashboard/staff), click on any practitioner card to open their profile dashboard.

2

On the 'Profile' tab, click the 'Edit ✏️' button located in the upper right corner of the overview card.

3

Update essential fields: Full Name, direct Phone number, primary and secondary Branches, Department, and assigned Services.

Configuring Recurring Shifts & Custom Breaks

Each clinician's schedule can be tailored per branch location:

Multi-Branch Working Hours

Practitioners assigned to multiple branches will automatically have their availability scoped so patients can only book them at the branch they are scheduled to work at on that day.
1

Select the practitioner and click the 'Schedule' tab.

2

Define recurring weekly shift hours for each assigned branch (e.g., Vancouver Clinic on Mon/Wed/Fri, Burnaby Clinic on Tue/Thu).

3

Add recurring break blocks (such as lunch or administrative charting hours) to prevent online bookings during downtime.

Granular Permission Overrides

While standard roles (Owner, Admin, Practitioner, Front Desk, Billing) establish baseline system access, the 'Permissions' tab allows clinic owners to grant or revoke specific operational capabilities on a per-staff basis:

1

Select the staff member and navigate to the 'Permissions' tab.

2

Toggle granular capabilities: Override Cancellation Policy, View All Clinical Notes, Issue Manual Refunds, or Manage Clinic Services.

3

Changes apply immediately to the user's active session without requiring account re-creation.
