Location Configurations
To properly use Bulldog Connect for appointments and most reporting functions, a location must be set up and configured with services offered and other location-specific settings. Locations represent a physical or virtual place where students schedule appointments or use Kiosks when visiting. This guide covers the required configurations and some optional configurations.
Care Unit and Service Configurations
Services can be set up in three different modes:
Record Visit | Students only check in once and their single check-in is recorded as a visit.  |
Track Time | Students check-in and check-out to track their start and end time as a duration. Service can also be configured to count towards required study hall hours. |
Appointments, Drop-Ins and Requests with Staff | Services can be set up to schedule, drop-in, or be requested by students or only for use by staff. Most services are set up in this mode. |
Appointments, Drop-Ins, and Requests with Staff
For services in this mode many additional configurations are available. Multiple services can be grouped and have the same settings applied, or services can be split into different groups with different settings.
The following questions must be answered:
What service(s) does this location offer? | If a similar service name already exists, using it would be preferred. |
Default Appointment Length? | What is the default duration of scheduled appointments (15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90 minutes)? |
Are Drop-ins Allowed? | Will staff be offering drop-in availability? |
How can this service be scheduled? | What cohort of students can schedule for the service(s)? |
Are students required to schedule with a specific staff? | Are students limited to schedule only with their assigned staff? |
What are the student scheduling limitations? |
|
For the appointment configurations and limitations refer to the article Scheduling Configurations for a detailed explanation of these settings.
