Set up the booking calendar Praxis Desk
Set up the Online Booking Calendar so patients and clients can book appointments online. Activate the module and configure the basic settings for your booking page.
Prerequisites
- The Online Booking Calendar add-on is activated in your account.
- You have administrator rights.
Activate and configure the booking calendar
- Open Settings → Online Booking Calendar.
- Enable the Activate online booking toggle.
- Fill in the basic settings:
| Setting | Description | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Booking page name | Displayed as the title on the booking page (e.g. "Dr. Sample Practice" or "Therapy Center Vienna") | Required |
| Time zone | Ensures booking times are displayed correctly | Default: your account time zone |
| Appointment length | How long a booked appointment lasts (e.g. 30 or 60 minutes) | Required |
| Buffer time | Wait time between two appointments — e.g. 10 minutes for preparation and wrap-up | Recommended |
| Minimum lead time | How many hours before an appointment a booking is still possible — prevents last-minute bookings | Recommended |
| Maximum booking range | How far in advance an appointment can be booked (e.g. up to 60 days) | Optional |

Tip: Buffer time is especially important if you need time for documentation, cleaning, or preparation after each appointment. Set it generously — you can adjust it at any time.
