Creating Special Hours for Individual Doctors or Schedules

Learn how to close the schedule for a single provider in SKED without affecting the rest of your office’s availability.

📝 Overview

This guide explains how to temporarily close the schedule for one provider in your office using SKED’s scheduling settings. This is helpful when a doctor is unavailable for a day or multiple days, allowing you to maintain normal scheduling for other providers.


🗓️ Closing the Schedule for One Provider

To close off the schedule for only one provider in your office, start in the Schedule tab.

  1. Locate the doctor’s schedule that you’d like to close and click Set Hours.

  2. Next, go to the Special Hours tab and click New.

  3. Choose between Single Day or Multiple Days.

  4. Create a name for the special closing. (Your patients will not see this name.)

  5. Select the date the doctor will be gone and click Save.


Key Takeaways

  • Use the Special Hours tab to close the schedule for one provider only.

  • Choose Single Day or Multiple Days based on the provider’s absence.

  • The Internal Name you create is for office use only and is not visible to patients.

  • Other providers’ schedules will remain open and unaffected.


📌 Conclusion

By setting special hours for one provider, you can manage absences efficiently while keeping the rest of your office schedule available for patients. This ensures smooth operations and clear scheduling visibility in SKED.
