Appointments can be marked as Completed from any other status. Once an appointment is listed as "Completed" it can then only be Re-Opened, Cancelled, or marked as No Show. It cannot be Checked In from Completed status.
If you mark appointments as Completed, you have the option to send out an email to the Client and/or the Staff about the completed appointment. It will also help you stay organized in the TimeTap Back Office as you'll be able to neatly see the appointments that you have successfully completed in a given time period.
A time stamp of the status change will be listed on the Audit Trail for the appointment that you marked as Completed. This is just another way to stay organized or backtrack as to when you took a certain action.
This help doc covers:
- Completing Checked In Appointments
- Completing Open Appointments
- Completing Cancelled Appointments
- Completing No Show Appointments
- Viewing Completed Appointments
We will also discuss what can be done once appointments are listed as Completed and how you can make these changes in both List views or the Appointment Detail view.
