Settings to control how the kiosk system operates with appointments
The kiosk system has settings that a practice manager can use to control operation with appointments. For example, they can set the time between each appointment. And they can make a consent form mandatory for client appointments.

This table gives the function of each setting:
| Setting | Function |
