# Adjust Appointment Length

Adjust Appointment Length feature typically allows staff to modify the duration of scheduled appointments by dragging and dropping the edges of an appointment card on the scheduler screen. By resizing, staff can extend or shorten the time allocated for any given appointment without needing to cancel or recreate the scheduling.

***

### **Steps to Adjust Appointment Length**

* Open the **Scheduler** **(Home > Front Desk > Scheduler)** screen. Hover the mouse over the top or bottom line of the appointment card. The mouse pointer will change to a double-headed arrow. Click and drag the double-headed arrow up or down to decrease or increase the appointment duration. Once you release the drag, a confirmation message appears to confirm the resize. Confirm the action to change the appointment duration.

#### For Recurring Appointment

* When you adjust the duration, a pop-up screen will appear, prompting you to resize either the current event or the entire series.
