Cut and paste appointments
Submitted by Matt C on Wed, 24/11/2010 - 16:03
Hi everyone,
We just installed version 1.4 this week and I was keen to try out the Ctl-X and Ctl-V of appointments but I can't get the Ctl-V bit to work.
1. I select an appt.
2. Press Ctl-X and the text becomes struck-through.
3. Select a new appointment block
4. Press Ctl-V
but nothing happens
I have tried choosing a slot in the same column, different column, different appointments.
I also tried using the same broswer in the demo and it worked fine?

Re: Cut and paste appointments
The appointment status must be "Pending" in order to cut and paste.
The GUI probably should ignore Ctrl-X if its not.

Re: Cut and paste appointments
A query re CrtlX/V - is v1.5 going to have a Ctrl-C (Copy) ability as this would greatly help in scheduling future appointments/block-outs. Not sure why it was not added in the initial project when Cut/Paste were enabled
Cheers,
Nick
Re: Cut and paste appointments
Hey Nick,
The original project all grew from a users desire to transfer appointments.
http://www.openvpms.org/project/appointment-transfer
Duplicating them wasn't ever discussed.
I could see how you might want to drop a particular appointment into mutiple columns and copying and pasting would do that.
We could definitely create a development project if that was desired?
