Online booking can be enabled for each time slot. Use the **Templates** field to define available procedures.

You can view all templates and configure them for online booking on this page:\
[Settings -> Fees/Templates](https://app.dentaltap.com/en/p/settings/fees/templates)

#### Time Slot by Appointment Group

By default, you need to specify a Doctor when creating a time slot. However, instead of Doctor, you can specify the appointment group (reason) and keep the Doctor name empty.&#x20;

This wake you can make your time slot to be available for a specific procedure/group, and not linked with the specific doctor.
