PERMISSIONS REQUIRED: Any user can change Appointment Status. Clients can also change Appointment Status.
Appointment Status is a way to help categorize and keep track of Appointments. Staff Members can change the status from the Agenda, Calendar or a Client's Appointment History Report. Clients can also change the Appointment Statuses to cancelled when they respond to an Appointment text reminder or through the Client Portal. See Organization Cancellation Policies - Overview for more information.
NOTE: Progress Notes & Upcoming Appointment Status - Progress notes linked to appointments with an Upcoming status cannot be signed, submitted or approved. See Create a Progress Note for more information.
Also, You cannot make changes to an Appointment (i.e. update a Service Type) after you have created and linked an Invoice. In order to make changes, you will need to delete the linked Invoice. Then after you have made your changes to the Appointment, you will need to recreate the Invoice with the corrected/updated Appointment information and reapply any Payments.
You can see when the Appointment Status was changed and by who in the Activity Log Report.
