The most reliable way to **manage appointment scheduling across several doctors** is to keep every appointment in one shared table, linked to each doctor, room and service, and to show it through filtered calendar and **Kanban** views.

In **Jestor**, reception sees the whole clinic at once, while each doctor sees only their own agenda.

## Why does multi-doctor scheduling get messy?

When each doctor keeps a separate agenda — a notebook, a spreadsheet or a personal phone — reception has to check several places before booking anything.

Double bookings, forgotten blocks and unclear room usage appear quickly, especially when patients reschedule through **WhatsApp** messages that nobody logs.

## What problems does a shared scheduling system solve?

- Double bookings for the same doctor or room
- Reception switching between several agendas
- Reschedules that never reach the official schedule
- No overview of occupancy per doctor or service
- Patients waiting for answers while staff check availability

## How do I organize scheduling for several doctors in Jestor?

1. **Create connected tables** for doctors, rooms, services and appointments.
2. **Link each appointment** to one doctor, one room and one service through connected fields.
3. **Build a calendar view** filtered by doctor, so each professional sees their own agenda.
4. **Set granular permissions**, so doctors view their schedule and reception manages everyone's.
5. **Connect WhatsApp**, so every message from a patient becomes a card that reception can turn into a booking.

| View             | Who uses it            | What it shows                       |
| ---------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Clinic calendar  | Reception              | All doctors and rooms               |
| Doctor calendar  | Each doctor            | Only their own appointments         |
| Kanban by status | Reception and managers | Booked, confirmed, attended, missed |
| Dashboard        | Clinic manager         | Occupancy by doctor and service     |
