Appointment length
Appointment length
I'm looking at the appointment API (https://www.opendental.com/site/apiappointments.html) and was hoping to be able to see how long an appointment is. Am I overlooking something or can I make a feature request? Thanks!
Re: Appointment length
Good Afternoon Saskia,
An appointments length is stored in the Pattern field of the appointment table. See the Appointment Table Schema for more information.
Thanks!

Re: Appointment length
Good afternoon!
Thanks for the quick response - good to know which field I'm looking at but struggling to understand how the values work. I think
"Pattern": "//XXXX//"
Means 2 x 5 minutes assist time, followed by 4 x 5 minutes doctor time followed by 2 x 5 minutes assist time? For a total of 40 minutes?
Thanks!

Re: Appointment length
You are absolutely correct, '/' represents assist time and 'X' represents doctor time. Both '/' and 'X' characters represent 5 minute increments which is used to determine the length of the appointment.saskia wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 1:23 pmGood afternoon!
