Does anyone know, when on the calendar screen, why it only shows the start time and not the start time to end time … with your desired intervals? … I’ve been fighting with this for months and I cannot figure it out.

The all the calendars in OpenEMR show only the start time. Their end time is indicated by the height of the event block. Sometimes it’s not clear, from the visual block, when an event ends. Especially if you’re try to scan across multiple columns in a table format.

I think showing the end time within the calendar would be difficult since it’s already cramped for space. But it would be a good feature request to have the start AND END TIME appear in the pop-up when you position your mouse over an event in the calendar.

If you’d like to customize your own install of OpenEMR I can help direct you to the files which would need to be changed.

Yangyang,

If you’re using OpenEMR v2.9 then you can change your calendar to the Outlook style. It’s a more sensible look and feel to the calendar. Perhaps it will alleviate the confusion. The calendar style can be changed in the User/Group Administration page. Choose a User to edit and then look for the choice of calendar styles.

All;

I am unsure if this helps your cause, but:

Use Admin - Users and edit the calendar you want to use to "Fancy" (and I suggest you see my comments on making the Month view better).

You have to exit and logout to reset. You should also verify your settings for the minimum time step in …/interface/globals.php and look for

$GLOBALS[‘calendar_interval’] = 15; (the number might be different)

That is near line 190 in distribution 2.9.1-dev. That will display the calendar in blocks of that time until you select a specific type of appointment, which will then default to the time you have set it for in Admin - Calendar - Categories. You can also create added categories there, which will show up in the Encounter Type field dropdown.

Hope that helps.

For those who expect OpenEMR’s calendar to function like a “normal” calendar I suggest using the Outlook style. It allows the creation of events without first setting up IN/OUT of Office events.

It’s a bit more user friendly in terms of screen space and the printed views are very nice too.

The calendar view is a per-user setting and can be changed in the Admin->Users screen.
