⚙️ Clinic Settings

The Settings section lets the clinic Admin configure how the system behaves — from your clinic's name and address to operating hours and billing preferences.

Accessible by: Admin only


Opening Settings

Click Settings in the sidebar. Settings are organised into tabs:

  • General — Clinic profile, contact details, timezone
  • Hours — Operating hours and lunch break
  • Billing — Default fees, tax rate, subscription info

Click Save Hours to apply changes.


Billing — Default Patient Fees

You can set up default fee templates that appear as suggested line items when creating invoices. This saves time for repeated services.

To add a default fee:

  1. Go to Settings → Billing.
  2. Click + Add Fee.
  3. Enter the service name and default price.
  4. Click Save.

These fees appear as quick-add options in the invoice builder.


Billing — Tax Rate

If your clinic charges GST or another tax:

  1. Go to Settings → Billing.
  2. Enter the Tax Rate (%) (e.g. 18 for 18% GST).
  3. Click Save.

Tax is automatically calculated and shown as a separate line on invoices.


Subscription & Plan

The Billing tab also shows your current subscription plan and status:

InfoWhat It Means
Plan NameYour current subscription tier
StatusActive / Trial / Expired
Renewal DateWhen your plan renews or expires
Auto-RenewWhether renewal is automatic

If your plan has expired, contact the ZidBit team via the Communication Center to renew. → How to contact us


Tips

  • Set the Timezone correctly on day one — changing it later may affect how historical appointments appear.
  • Default fees are optional but save significant time in busy billing sessions.
