Hi,
Currently, the appointments are view only under patient portal. If i have to provide the edit and add, how does one do it?
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hi,

This feature does not yet exist in the ‘Native Patient Portal’, but is offered in the ‘Third Party Patient Portal’:
http://open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Patient_Portal

To add this feature to the Native Patient Portal, the following is posted on above wiki page:
TODO(for developers):
The appointment setting feature by the patient is not yet ready. The find appt and find open slot scripts are still buggy and the extraneous stuff needs to be removed. When these scripts are ready, can then place the following global in Administration->Globals to turn on this feature: Administration->Globals->Connectors->‘Allow Patient Modification of Appointments’. Will also need to add following to the openemr_postcalendar_categories table, pc_catname column: Office Visit (Patient Scheduled). The initial script that needs to be improved/modified is here: openemr/patients/add_edit_event_user.php
