Configuring online booking links

Each of your locations has its own online booking website. On each of your locations' websites, you can include a link to that specific location's online booking website. Dentrix Ascend provides you with a way to quickly get the necessary HTML code for these links and to activate Reserve with Google (available only for practices with a Pro or Accelerate subscription to Dentrix Ascend).

Note:

When you enable online scheduling or upgrade to the new online scheduler, be sure to communicate with your website manager that he or she will need to assist you in configuring or updating the booking links or widget on your website. More information about that process can be found here: https://scheduler-doc.jarvisanalytics.com/docs/installation/quick-start.
When you upgrade to the new online scheduler, recare text messages are updated automatically with the new booking links.
Online booking links are location specific (each location of your organization has its own online booking links).
Accessing the online booking links and configuring Reserve with Google requires the "View and Edit Schedule Templates" security right.
