pickAtime User Guide

Go into the Global Setup / Business Setup page and you will see the propagate changes to all events options. This means that any change you make to a setting will automatically be applied to all events of the same type. Note that it will not change all settings automatically, but only when you make a change to a setting. To have changes apply only to a single event, make sure this is set to "propagate to only current event". 

This Propagate Settings feature is a powerful administrative tool that functions as a "global sync" for your event configurations. It is designed to save time by eliminating the need to manually update identical settings across multiple events.

Here is a breakdown of how to manage these updates effectively:

Where to Configure

Navigate to the Global Setup / Business Setup page. This is where you control the default behavior for how setting changes flow through your system.

How Propagation Works

The system acts on a "trigger" basis rather than a constant sync.

• Dynamic Updating: Changes are only pushed to other events at the moment you modify a setting. The changes only apply to the following pages: Settings / UI Setup page, Settings / Vendor View Setup page,  the Settings / Notifications Setup page, and the Settings / CUI Messages pages. 
• Targeted Scope: It typically applies only to events of the same type or the same category, ensuring you don't accidentally overwrite settings on unrelated categories (e.g., applying a "Flu Clinic" setting to a "Physical Therapy" event).
• The Safety Toggle: If you need to customize a single event without affecting your entire template, you must switch the setting to "Propagate to only current event."

Best Practices for Admins

⚠️ Important Note: Always double-check this toggle before leaving the page. If you leave global propagation on by mistake, a minor change intended for one date could unintentionally rewrite the settings for dozens of others.
