Questions about Morning Huddle troubleshooting
When does the Morning Huddle sync with my practice management software?
The Morning Huddle syncs daily during the Nightly Sync, around 8pm each evening. However, if you have enabled Incremental Syncing throughout the day, the Morning Huddle "Today" and "Tomorrow" sections will sync every few hours.
Please note: The "Yesterday" section is updated only during the Nightly Sync. Learn more about the differences between a Nightly Sync and Incremental Syncing.
Why isn't the Morning Huddle loading?
If the Morning Huddle isn't loading, it could be because the browser cache needs to be cleared. Learn how to clear your cache.
Why isn't the Schedule by Operatory loading in the Tomorrow tab?

Why aren't all providers showing in the schedule on the Tomorrow tab?
The only providers that will show on the Schedule by Provider calendar of the Tomorrow section are providers that have appointments on the books for the day.
You can filter the schedule by provider role by clicking on the dropdown menu in the upper left corner of the schedule.
Questions about metrics in the Morning Huddle
Do the Unscheduled Family Members, Unscheduled Treatment, AR Balance, and Unscheduled Hygiene opportunity tiles update after the day or week ends?
No. The "Yesterday" and "Last Week" opportunity tiles are locked counts, not live/real-time counts that change after the set period ends.
At the end of the day (or period), we lock in what the "Today" tiles were showing — for example, "5 patients with unscheduled treatment."
That number (5) gets locked and carried forward to the next day's "Yesterday" tiles on the Huddle.
Even if more patients come in or the schedule changes throughout the following day, the "Yesterday" Unschedule Family Members tile will still say 5 — it does not update to reflect new activity.
The same logic applies to "Last Week" — a locked count of what "This Week" showed at close, not a running total.
Why we designed it this way
The goal is to keep the team focused and accountable to what was planned for — not to a moving target.
When the team looks at the "Today" tab in the Morning Huddle, they see the opportunities in front of them right then. The next day, the "Yesterday" tile lets us close the loop: "We told you about these 5 patients yesterday — you completed 4 of the 5." That's a chance to recognize and celebrate the team for what they closed out, measured against exactly what was flagged to them — not against a number that quietly changed behind the scenes.
This keeps the Huddle focused on what it's meant to be: a motivational tool and a checkbox against what the team knew was going to happen that day — not a catch-all for the many changes that occurred but were unplanned. The Huddle is a point of alignment on known opportunities, not a live tracker of everything that shifted in real time.
For the full picture of what the day actually ended up looking like, and to unlock even more opportunities — the team can utilize other areas of the Analytics module:
Unscheduled family members: the Unscheduled Patients metric on the Performance Board, or a custom Patient Finder list
Unscheduled treatment: Team Tasks/Follow-Up Tasks, or the Treatment Case metrics in Provider Pulse
AR balance: the AR Aging metric on the Collections Board, or Team Tasks/Follow-Up Tasks
Unscheduled hygiene: Team Tasks/Follow-Up Tasks, or a custom Patient Finder list
So the "Yesterday" and "Last Week" sections of the Huddle answer one specific question — "How did we perform on what we knew was going to happen?" — while these other tools are where the team should go for unforeseen changes.
Why does the Production metric in the Morning Huddle not match the Production in my PMS?
When cross-referencing metrics in Dental Intelligence and your practice management software, the key lies in leveraging equivalent sources to guarantee the utmost accuracy in reflecting your data. Rest assured, our rigorous testing of the information flow between Dental Intelligence fills us with unwavering confidence – the data integrity between these systems is not just reliable, but exceptionally accurate.

Can I change the metrics that show up in the Morning Huddle?
Yes, you can edit the metrics that are shown in the Yesterday and Last Week sections of the Morning Huddle (Note: The Last Week section shows up on Mondays).
To update the metrics that are shown, click on the Edit Metrics button above the metric tiles in your Morning Huddle dashboard.
Next, reorder the metrics by clicking on the arrows icon and dragging the tile to the desired order. Or, remove an existing metric by clicking on the trashcan icon.
Add a new metric by clicking on the + Add New Metric button. Then, click Finish Editing in the upright corner to save your changes.
Why is the Production shown in the Morning Huddle different from the Production in the Performance Board?
Scheduled Production shown in the Morning Huddle is considered gross production. Today's Scheduled Production shown in the Performance Board is considered net production.
Why doesn't the date shown in the Today and/or Tomorrow tab match the actual calendar date?
The Today and Tomorrow tabs in the Morning Huddle dates may not match the actual calendar date. The Today and Tomorrow dates shown in the Morning Huddle are the next days that your practice has scheduled production on the books.
For example, if the actual calendar date is April 21st but the Today tab in the Morning Huddle says May 3rd, you don't have any production scheduled until May 3rd. If you click on the Tomorrow tab and the date says June 6th, that means you don't have any production scheduled after May 3rd until June 6th.
A patient cancelled an appointment scheduled for next month, but they're showing up in today's Morning Huddle in the "patients not rescheduled" list. Is this correct?
The Morning Huddle's "[number] patients were not rescheduled for a future appointment" metric on the Yesterday and Today tab tracks cancellation activity based on when the cancellation occurred, not when the original appointment was scheduled.
How It Works
When you view Yesterday or Last Week summaries, the metric includes all patients who cancelled appointments during that timeframe, even if their cancelled appointments were scheduled for future dates.
Example:
A patient cancels on Monday, December 8th
Their original appointment was scheduled for January 16th
This patient will appear in Monday's (December 8th) "patients not rescheduled" count
Why This Matters
This design helps your practice take immediate action on recent cancellations:
Real-time visibility - See who cancelled as soon as it happens
Timely follow-up - Reach out to patients while the cancellation is fresh
Proactive scheduling - Address gaps in your schedule before they become a problem
The Morning Huddle shows you when patients broke their appointments so your team can quickly work to reschedule them, regardless of when those appointments were originally scheduled for.
Questions about goals in the Morning Huddle
How do I change the goals that show in the Morning Huddle?
To change provider or practice goals, check out our step-by-step guide.
Can I view daily and monthly Production goals in the Morning Huddle?
Yes! The daily Production goal can be seen by hovering over the "below goal" or "above goal" number in the first paragraph on the Yesterday, Today, or Tomorrow sections of the Morning Huddle.
The monthly Production goal can be seen in the Month To Date Production Forecast on the Yesterday section of the Morning Huddle.
Will changing my goals adjust the Morning Huddle retroactively?
Yes. If you update your goal and then check the Morning Huddle, the data will be updated to reflect your new goal.
Why are some of my provider's goals showing as 0 in the Morning Huddle?
If provider goals are showing as 0 in the Morning Huddle, it's likely because the provider's clinical hours are not being tracked or a goal has not been set.
