Create Appointment Book Stencils / Preset Book Templates

A predefined template created/applied against an Appointment Book, is called a Stencil. Stencils are used to minimise the time taken to set up Appointment Books. The Stencil must be setup initially, but then can be used multiple times against any appointment book.

For example: A Stencil could be created for new Providers; meaning whenever a new Provider starts, the ‘New Provider’ Stencil is applied to their appointment book.
