PRM Appointment Console

Overview

The Appointment Console is the PRM screen for finding appointments that are already booked — by organisation for a single day, or by doctor across a date range.

Path: PRM → Appointment → Console — /admin/prm/appointment/console

It is a read-only view. It does not book, reschedule or cancel appointments, and it is not limited to referred patients: whatever is booked for the organisation or the doctor is what it lists. Booking and referral handling happen in the places listed under What this screen does not do.

The two searches

The page carries two independent search panes and one results table underneath them.

Organisation appointments — one day at a time

  1. Open PRM → Appointment → Console.
  2. Under Organization Appointments, pick the Date.
  3. Select Get Appointments.
  4. The table lists every appointment in your organisation for that date.

This pane sets the start and end date to the same day, so an organisation-wide search is always a single day. That is deliberate — see Date-range limits.

Doctor appointments — a date range for one doctor

  1. Under Doctor Appointments, set Start and End.
  2. Choose the Doctor from the list. The list is every doctor in the organisation that is not marked Inactive, sorted by name. It is not filtered by the dates you picked, so a doctor with no availability in that range still appears and simply returns no rows.
  3. Select Get Appointments.
  4. The table lists that doctor's appointments in the range.

All three fields are required; leaving any of them empty prompts you instead of searching.

Opening the page without a search shows today (IST) for the whole organisation.

Reading the results

ColumnWhat it shows
Start DateThe appointment's start time, shown in IST
StatusThe appointment's status as recorded on the booking
Doctor NameThe practitioner booked for the appointment
Patient NamePatient name, followed by the patient id and the patient's PHR address
Patient MobileThe patient's registered mobile number
DescriptionThe appointment comment entered on the booking

The table is not paginated while it fits — it renders up to 2,500 rows at once, so a wide doctor-wise search can be a long page. Narrow the dates rather than scrolling if you are looking for one person.

Date-range limits

The search backend rejects ranges that are too wide to return quickly. The limit depends on which identifiers the search carries:

SearchMaximum range
Doctor only31 days
Doctor + patient180 days
Patient only93 days
Organisation (neither)1 day

The console's two panes use Doctor only and Organisation, which is why the organisation pane offers a single date and the doctor pane is capped at 31 days. The doctor + patient and patient-only rows are reachable by URL (?startdate=…&enddate=…&patientid=…), not from the on-screen controls.

The range is counted in whole days on the dates you entered, and applied in IST.

Errors

A problem with the search is reported as a warning bar at the top of the page — the console does not fail to load.

  • "Enter a valid start date and end date." — a date was missing or unreadable. Re-enter both dates.
  • "For This query max date range is 31 days. Narrow the dates and search again." (or 1 / 93 / 180 days, whichever limit was hit) — the range is wider than the search allows. Shorten it, or switch to the doctor-wise pane if you were searching organisation-wide.

Fix the dates and search again; nothing is lost.

What this screen does not do

The console shows appointments. These related tasks live elsewhere:

TaskWhere
Record an incoming referral and move its lead statusPRM → Receive Patient → Create — /admin/prm/refer-patient/receive-patient/create (existing records: Search)
Refer a patient outNot in the PRM menu today. The page is at /admin/prm/refer-patient/send-patient/create
Schedule follow-upsPRM → Doctor Schedule → Create — /admin/prm/schedule/create (existing slots: Search)
Notification history for contactsNotifications in the main menu — /admin/prm/notification/search/0
The patient behind an appointmentPatient Dashboard

An appointment is not linked to a referral or a lead on this screen, and the console does not record a visit against a referral — update the lead status in the receive-patient flow when the patient actually turns up.
