Setting up Flip Tabs in the Appointment Book

You can navigate through your schedule quickly and easily using Flip Tabs in the Appointment Book. Flip Tabs act like bookmarks or placeholders in a paper schedule. They allow you to jump a few days, weeks, or months at a time, making it simple to find and view future appointment times. You can set up flip tabs to accommodate the intervals you jump to most frequently in your office. You can have up to 12 different flip tabs set up in the Appointment Book—four flip tabs for each Appointment Book views (Day View, Week View, and Month View).


Flip Tabs Setup

How To Set Up Flip Tabs


  1. In the Appointment Book, select Setup | Flip Tab Setup.
  2. Select the Day View, Week View, or Month View tab to create a flip tab for that view.
  3. Enter the Description for the flip tab, such as 2 weeks or Lab.
  4. If desired, edit the color of the text for the flip tab by clicking the Text Color button.
  5. Select one of the options in the Type drop-down:
    • Absolute is used for a specific date (e.g. January 17, 2009).
    • Relative is used to jump the schedule forward or backward by a specific number of days (e.g. 15 days forward for an appointment needing enough time for lab work to get done and sent back to the office). If you select Relative:
      1. Enter the number of Days that you want the flip tab to move forward or backward in the Appointment Book.
      2. In the Direction group box, mark Forward or Backward depending on the direction you want the flip tab to move the schedule.
      3. In the Relative to group box, mark Today to move the schedule the assigned interval relative to today’s date or mark Displayed Date to move the schedule the assigned interval relative to the date currently being viewed in the Appointment Book.
  6. Repeat steps 2 – 5 for all other flip tabs.
  7. Click OK to save and exit.
