Schedule Layouts with Small slot times

Relating to the schedule view - I have setup a clinic who has a standard schedule app time of 15minutes - however they also have a appointment type that is less common but is only 5minutes long.  

This requires that a standard appointment takes 3 slots (5minute slots) but the view then is extremely long - I was wondering if we could add a configuration option to split the scheduled view to show a certain time period but if in a given period there is more than 1 appointment it will expand that period ?

so you end up with

11:00 Daisy

11:15 Axel

11:30 sergio -nails

11.35 -

11:40 Mario - dental check

11:45 Heidi sick dog

12:00 -

12:15 -

12:30 Surgery block

12:45 Surgery block

 

etc

 

Thoughts??

Re: Schedule Layouts with Small slot times

I don't see any major issues with that. 

One possible consideration is that in Schedule views with multiple columns, the addition of a 5 minute appointment in any column will add 5 minute apointment slots in every column. In our clinic, it would take some training to ensure people didn't accidentally fill the slots up with 15 minute appointments... but I suspect that's a specific issue for us!

Re: Schedule Layouts with Small slot times

Yes thats exactly what I dont want - but what I am proposing is that the shedule view will set the "default" period and if a underlying schedules has a shorter period it will only expand when an appointment for a shorter period is booked.  Even then it only expands for that section ...ie it doesnt expand the whole view to 5minutes - which is what currently happens.
