Channel Recurring Sessions Weekday
Weekday-based recurring sessions are the most common session type. A session is defined once and automatically repeats on selected days of the week — for example, every Monday and Wednesday — for as long as the schedule is active.
Use weekday recurrence when a consultant holds clinic on the same day(s) each week on an ongoing basis. The system generates session instances for each occurrence automatically.
For one-off sessions on a single specific date, see Channel Specific-Date Session Scheduling.
Menu → Channelling → Channel Scheduling → Channel Schedule Management
Requires the ChannelSheduleManagement privilege.
- Select the speciality and consultant.
- Click Add to create a new session, or select an existing session to edit it.
In the session form, locate the Recurrence / Schedule section:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Recurrence Type | Select Weekday-Based |
| Days of Week | Check one or more days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday |
| Valid From | The date from which the session should start generating instances |
| Valid Until | The date after which no new instances are generated (leave blank for indefinite) |
Configure the session type (slot or token), times, fees, and max patients as described in:
Click Save. The system generates session instances for all matching weekdays within the valid date range.
After saving, switch to Channel Session Management to see the list of generated instances for this session. Each instance is listed with its date and status.
Weekday-based sessions generate instances for every matching weekday regardless of public holidays or doctor leave. Handle exceptions in two ways:
- Doctor Leave — mark specific dates as leave to suppress bookings. See Channel Doctor Leave Management.
- Cancel an Individual Instance — cancel a specific occurrence without affecting the rest of the schedule. See Channel Session Instances.
- Doctor Holiday Mark — from the Channel Booking View, use the gear menu → Doctor Holiday to flag selected instances as a holiday. This is a soft flag (bookings are not cancelled automatically) that is visible on the booking screen.
To change the days a consultant is available:
- Open the session in Channel Schedule Management.
- Update the Days of Week checkboxes.
- Save.
Existing past instances are unaffected. New instances will be generated according to the updated schedule.
To stop a recurring session permanently, set the Valid Until date to the last session date and save.
