We’ve reworked the way recurring appointments work (in look and function).  In the past, the recurring appointments would automatically schedule recurring appointments for one year.  After receiving feedback from our users, we’ve found that many users book appointments in chunks, like 3 – 4 months at a time.  In this case, the system would create appointments for one year, when they really only needed recurring appointments for 3 or 4 months.

Clicking the “Recurring” button on the scheduling page now brings up a small pop up box (see the image below) and you can specify the Appt. Frequency (how often the appointment recurs IE every 2 weeks) and the Appt. Duration (this is how long the appointment should recur for, IE 4 months).  So, if you select “2″ for Appt. Frequency and “4″ for Appt. Duration the appointment would be scheduled every 2 weeks for the next 4 months.

It’s a simple change, but one that makes the recurring functions even more flexible.
