Waiting List Tab
The Waiting List tab allows scheduled appointments to be viewed where the <Earlier Appt> field is set to ‘Y’ on the Add Appointment or Modify Appointment dialog box. The appointment date-specific list may be filtered by appointment facility, provider, and/or type of appointment. For details on rescheduling appointments on the Waiting List to available time slots, see the documentation for context menu option {Waiting List} on the Full Day Schedule.
Effective version 18.10.30, when an appointment is cancelled, rescheduled, or deleted, the program now has the capability to send a text message to a patient on the waiting list. Before a text message may be sent, complete steps 1. and 2.
Sample Text:

Sample E-mail:
