Clone by date

How-to: Choose "clone by date" -> select the dates you would like to duplicate -> click create x appointments
This can be useful, for example, if you have a client who starts seeing you regularly.
Clone by client
You can also duplicate (clone) an appointment to a number of different clients.
How-to: Choose "clone by client" -> select the clients you would like to duplicate -> click create x appointments
This could be useful, for example, if you take a small class with a few different clients.
Important to know
It is important to be aware of some behaviour specific to cloned appointments:
- Automated behaviours are not executed. For example:
- Rules will not be run for automated appointments
- Client treatment plans will not automatically be added 2.Cloned appointments inherit some functionality from recurring appointments. In particular, you can reschedule or delete the entire series.
- Note: The first appointment is not included in the recurring series
- Cloned appointments will always be created with a status of "new", regardless of the status of the initial appointment
- You cannot clone an online appointment type (because these require creating meetings in Zoom)
- If you have manually edited a custom invoice title (and it contains the date), be aware that the date string will be copied to cloned appointments)
