Operatories represent the physical treatment rooms and dental chairs in your clinic. Once defined, they appear as color-coded options when scheduling appointments — helping staff assign patients to the right chair and giving you a visual layout of room utilization on the calendar.
Admin only — Only administrators can add, edit, or remove operatories.

​
Adding an operatory

  1. Open Settings > Operatories / Chairs.
  2. Click Add Operatory.
  3. Fill in the details:
  1. Click Save.
The operatory is immediately available when scheduling appointments.

​
Using colors for quick reference

Each operatory has a color that appears as a badge on appointment cards in the calendar view. Choose distinct colors for each chair so staff can see at a glance which room an appointment is in without opening the appointment detail.
Use descriptive names like “Dr. Ahmed’s Room” or “X-Ray Room” rather than generic labels like “Chair 1”. Descriptive names reduce confusion for front-desk staff who are not familiar with the physical layout.

​
Editing and removing operatories

Edit an operatory to change its name or color. Removing an operatory does not affect existing appointments — historical appointments retain the operatory name for reference. Future appointments that referenced the removed operatory will need to be reassigned.
