Hi,
I am trying to set up my clinic schedule, but my usual office hours start at 7:30AM. How can I change the start time of the appointment scheduler to work for my clinic?
Thanks,
Howard Bueller, M.D.

The calendar start time in your global settings can be expressed only as hours. What you would do is set it to 7, and then when you create your “In Office” event make that for 7:30.

Thank you Rod, but how do I get to the global settings to modify it? Is it part of the database table structure?

In 3.2 and earlier the calendar start time is in interface/globals.php. In current development code it’s in the Calendar tab under Administration -> Globals. In either case be sure to check out the other things you can customize in there.

How do I get to interface/globals.php? In the dialogue line I have http://localhost/openemr/interface/main, but when I add globals.php I get an error.
Is 4.0 ready enough to use?

When the navigation menu is a tree view:
* Click Administration
* Click Globals
* It should open in the top pane.
When the navigation menu is radio buttons:
* Click a radio button next to Administration
* One of your panes will now be on the Administration page, which has a sub-menu across the top.
* Click Globals.
When using the old-style:
* Menu is at the top.
* Click Admin
* Click Globals

We are using a branch from 4.0.0-dev for our production, since we benefit greatly from a few patches I got into the system during the 4.0.0 development.
I generally recommend the latest released version for most software, but I don’t really have much experience with OpenEMR 3.2.0 (patched or no).

hey,
4.0 is not ready for production use. I’d rec staying with 3.2 for now(I’d only suggest considering 4.0 if you are very technically proficient and have time to problem solve issues/bugs). For 3.2 to edit globals, use a text editor to make changes in the openemr/interface/globals.php file.

Also,
For 3.2, remember to get the most recent patch:

Thanks for all the input. I got the file and corrected the schedule for my office. Once I get the prac mgmt and scheduler all up and running, I will start to work on the forms templates, and whatever I can create I will gladly offer to the Open EMR community.
