- Select an appointment Color from the drop-down menu.
- Check the Is default box to have the type selected by default when new appointments are created.
- Check the Default mark busy box to make appointments of this type marked busy by default. The appointment will appear with a solid color on the schedule. If the Default mark busy box is unchecked, the appointment will show in white with a colored outline on the schedule.

- Check the Telehealth box to make appointments of this type offer, by default, telehealth appointment invitations containing instructions for connecting to the videoconferencing platform.
- Set required resource types for the event type. If resource types are required, then resources of the required type must be reserved for every appointment of this type.
- Associate online forms with the event type. For appointments booked online, these forms will send once the booking is verified. For user-created appointments, the creation of the event will prompt the sending of these forms. For the COVID-19 pre-visit survey, it is recommended that the form be sent ad hoc the day of the appointment, rather than automatically when the appointment is created. For more information, see: Creating an online forms request in connection with an appointment.
