Other basic filters are also available.
Appointment Source
The appointment source is the avenue used to initiate appointments. This information can help you understand which methods are most effective in booking appointments.
For example, if you notice a high number of appointments coming from online booking or the mobile app, you may want to encourage more clients to utilize these options.
📌This can decrease phone time for your clinic and increase internal efficiency.
Appointment Status
The appointment status can help you track cancellations and no-shows, as well as other basic statuses like pending or confirmed.
By monitoring this trend, you can identify clients who may be unreliable and take steps (such as adding a client alert / tag) to address the issue.
📌This can help improve your clinic's overall efficiency and reduce lost revenue from missed appointments.
Visit Types
The visit types categorize/group the nature of the appointment based on pre-existing options.

📌This can help manage staff scheduling, stock purchasing and stock turnover rates.
