It is Tuesday morning and a patient calls to move to 10:00. Dana is free at 10:00, but you do not know whether a treatment room is. Provider columns answer who is free. Room columns answer where, so you switch the grid to rooms and see the whole morning by room.
Where the toggle is
A Group by section sits in the Calendar's left rail, with a Provider and Room button. On a phone it is inside the Filters sheet. Provider is the default, and the choice resets to Provider when you reload the page.
What changes in room view
- Each room is a column, and each appointment sits in the room it was booked into. If you filter the Calendar to one facility, only that facility's rooms appear.
- An appointment booked without a room lands in an extra No room column, which shows up only when there is such an appointment.
- Dragging across empty time to start a booking fills in that room instead of a provider. Dragging to block time off is available only in provider view, since time off belongs to a person.
The toggle appears only when your practice has at least one room and more than one provider or room, so a single-provider, single-room practice never sees it. Rooms come from resource types and rooms in scheduling setup, and a practice that never adds one is unaffected.
