Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further.

Navigate to Settings > Preferences to access all the options described on this page. These settings only affect your own account — they do not change anything for other staff members or patients.
Preferences let you tailor how Decoda looks and behaves for you. Choose a color theme, control what you see on the calendar, set up Google Calendar syncing, and adjust how notes and messages are displayed.

Theme

Pick a visual theme to change the overall look of the platform. You can choose from preset themes or create a custom color scheme. Your selection applies immediately and only affects your account.

Appearance

  • Show IDs: Turn this on to display ID numbers on every item throughout the platform. This is useful when working with support or referencing specific records.
  • Transparency: When turned on, panels and overlays use translucent blur effects. Turn this off if you notice lag or visual glitches, which can happen on some older devices.

Display Timezone

Override the timezone used for displaying dates and times across the platform. When set, all times are shown in the selected timezone instead of your browser’s timezone.
  • Use the timezone selector to choose a timezone.
  • Once a timezone override is set, a Reset to browser timezone button appears. Click it to clear the override and go back to using your browser’s timezone.

Sign Off

This section is only visible if you have the Sign Off Notes permission.
  • Auto sign-off notes: When turned on, newly created notes are automatically signed off. Turn this off if your workflow requires a manual review step before signing off.

Notes

  • Auto-filter notes to my notes: When turned on, the Notes page automatically filters to show only your notes. Turn this off to see all notes by default.

Calendar

The Calendar section has the most options. These control how your calendar looks and how scheduling behaves.

Google Calendar Integration

  • Auto-sync Calendar: Click the Connect Google Calendar button to link your Google account. Once connected, the button changes to show “Google Calendar Connected” in green. Each staff member connects their own account separately. When connected, appointments automatically sync with your Google Calendar.
  • Send Google Calendar Invites: When turned on, Google Calendar invites will be sent to your connected calendar for appointments you create.

Display Options

  • Show Weekends: Turn this on to include Saturday and Sunday columns in the calendar view.
  • Show Past Events as Translucent: When turned on, past appointments appear faded so you can focus on upcoming ones.

Calendar Hours

Set which hours are visible on your calendar. Use the Start Time and End Time fields to define the range. For example, setting 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM hides the early morning and late evening hours you do not use. Times are selectable in one-hour increments.

Calendar Grid Lines

Choose how frequently grid lines appear on the calendar. Options:
OptionDescription
NoneNo additional grid lines between hours
10 minA grid line every 10 minutes
15 minA grid line every 15 minutes
30 minA grid line every 30 minutes

Appointment Time Step

Set the time increment used when scheduling appointments on the calendar. This controls the snap interval when you click or drag to create an appointment.
OptionDescription
AutoUses the shortest service duration as the step size
5 minSnap to 5-minute increments
10 minSnap to 10-minute increments
15 minSnap to 15-minute increments
20 minSnap to 20-minute increments
30 minSnap to 30-minute increments
60 minSnap to 60-minute increments

Ghost Event

  • Show Ghost Event: When turned on, hovering over a time slot on the calendar shows a preview of the appointment that would be created there. The preview duration matches your appointment time step. A live preview is shown on the settings page so you can see what this looks like before turning it on.

Deleted Providers

  • Show Deleted Providers: When turned on, deleted and archived providers appear in provider selection lists throughout the platform. This is helpful if you need to view or reference historical data tied to a former provider.

Communications

  • Show Messages Box: When turned on, a messages box appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen showing your recent chats. A side-by-side preview on the settings page shows what the screen looks like with the messages box on and off.
