How to restrict people from creating/editing/checking in patients in the schedule?

Purpose:
To control schedule modifications by limiting appointment creation/editing to administrators while maintaining check-in capabilities for clinical staff.

Scope:
This security feature:

• Restricts schedule modifications to administrators only
• Allows all users to check patients in
• Prevents non-admins from:
  • Creating new appointments
  • Editing existing appointments
  • Removing appointments
• Applies to individual patients via Patient Checklist

Procedure:

1. Navigate to the Patient Checklist
2. Locate the Schedule Lock option
3. Check the Schedule Lock box
4. Save changes

Result:

• Locked patients will show a padlock icon in the schedule
• Non-admin users can still:
  • View the appointment
  • Check the patient in
• Only administrators can modify locked appointments

This feature is located on the Patient Checklist. Just check the "Schedule Lock" item and it will prevent any non-administrator user from modifying the schedule. Users will still be able to check patients in, just not modify/remove appointments for this patient.
