How can you select a visit type when making an appointment?

Selecting a visit type when making an appointment can be done by entering either the full or partial visit type name. This functionality provides flexibility for users by allowing them to type a quick and relevant search term when looking for specific visit types.

The ability to enter a partial name means that users don't have to memorize the exact names of all available visit types, which may be particularly numerous or complex. Instead, they can input a few characters or a keyword that corresponds to what they are looking for, thus speeding up the appointment scheduling process and improving efficiency.

This search capability is common in scheduling systems, as it enhances user experience by making the interface more intuitive and user-friendly. Using only the full name or being limited to the visit type ID number would constrain the search capabilities and could lead to inefficiencies. Additionally, relying solely on an appointment supervisor for such selections would not streamline the process for users who can independently navigate appointment settings.
