Data Adjustments 3 Data Adjustments Before you start learning about how the Millennium Appointment Book works, there are a couple of data adjustments that must be completed. These involve minor changes to records that already exist in the Millennium database. Assign Employees to Each Login ID Every employee must be assigned to a login ID record. This is a requirement for massage therapists so that they only have the ability to view their personal totals (i.e. tips, membership sales, etc.) at the end of each day. Millennium will know what totals to display when they are logged in because of the association of their employee profile to the login ID they are using. How to Assign an Employee to a Login ID 1. Select Management User Logins. The User Login Maintenance window displays. 2. Click the Edit button. 3. In the Employee (if any) field, select the employee profile to assign to the user login. 4. Click the Save button.
Data Adjustments 4 5. Click the button to display the next user login. 6. Repeat Steps 2 5 until all user logins are linked to an employee profile. Delete Service Resources The Millennium database contains 16 individual treatment rooms and 2 couples rooms by default. If your retreat does not have this many service resources, the extra resources must be deleted. 1. Select Data Services Service Resources. The Service Resources window displays. 2. Click the button until an extraneous service resource is located. 3. Click the Delete button. The Confirm Delete message displays. 4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

Appointment Transfer Methodology 5 Appointment Transfer Methodology All appointments in CMS/RMS must be manually transferred into Millennium by November 10 th. Start as FAR out as you have appointments scheduled and STOP once you get to November 10 th. Example: The following example explains how the appointment transfer process should progress. Julie is a Lifestyle Consultant who is going to be responsible for transferring the appointments over. She comes in today (October 22nd) and starts on February 8th (furthest date with an appointment scheduled). She transfers over all appointments on February 8th, February 7th, etc. all the way up to January 10th. She informs the Retreat Director that January 10th is the current cutoff date. If anyone wants to add, edit, or change an appointment on or after January 10th, it s done in Millennium. Otherwise, the appointment request is accommodated in CMS/RMS. Julie comes in the following day (October 23rd) and continues to work backwards starting on January 9th. She informs the Retreat Director that the new cutoff date is December 29th. If anyone now desires to add, edit, or change an appointment on or after December 29th, it done in Millennium. Otherwise, the appointment request is accommodated in CMS/RMS This process continues until all appointments are transferred up until AND on November 10th.
