Use cases

Dental practices

Organize appointments, professionals, resources, communication and administrative work for a dental practice.

A dental practice can use Heyllave to coordinate appointments and the administrative work around each visit. Configure services by appointment type and assign the resources involved, such as a professional or treatment room.

Bookings organize the calendar; the practice should keep clinical records in its approved clinical system.

Configure services and the calendar

  1. Create the services you want to offer under Bookings → Services and set a name, key, duration and minimum notice.
  2. Add required resources. A booking may need both the professional and an available room.
  3. Decide whether the service is available for public booking. Customer verification depends on public bookings being enabled.
  4. Turn on Requires approval if someone must review each request before confirming it.
  5. Set party size, recurrence and daily, weekly or monthly limits to match how the practice manages appointments.

See Bookings and availability for every service control, dependency and combination.

Heyllave organizes appointments, customers and operational tasks. Do not turn general notes, messages or custom fields into a clinical record. Keep clinical history and health data in the clinical system approved by the practice.

Trial workflow

  1. Create a trial service and assign a professional and room.
  2. Try booking it through the flow customers will use. Check verification and approval if enabled.
  3. Change or cancel the appointment using the configured actions and deadlines.
  4. Confirm that only intended roles can see the related records and documents.
  5. Issue a trial invoice and verify its details and status separately from payment.

If something doesn’t work

Bookings is a foundation module and always available; Work orders is optional. If a time does not appear, check resource availability and the workspace limits first, not the module. If you cannot approve or reschedule an appointment, ask for the matching approval or reschedule permission. Keep clinical records in the system authorized for that purpose.
