Create a Recurring Appointment
Recurring appointments can only be used for an appointment type of Meeting . They can be used for scheduling meetings and lunch breaks into a Practitioners diary.
The Recurrance button is disabled for a Client Appointment. This is because this appointment type does not have the same functionality as a normal
Client Appointment. Consultation Notes can not be attached to these appointments.
Meetings are not updated to Google calendar because managing any changes to the recurrances is extremely difficult to do accurately.
