Add a Client to the Waiting List

The Waiting List can be used to hold details of clients who are waiting for an appointment as soon as one becomes available. e.g. they could be scheduled into a slot when an appointment has been cancelled. The creation of an appointment for a client on the waiting list when a space becomes available is a manual task. It can however be initiated from the waiting list. The waiting list entry must be manually removed after the appointment is created.
 
View the video - Bp Allied V.7 - Masterclass - Waiting list on the updates in V7 including how this impacts creating an appointment from a waiting list entry.
 
The fields viewed within the Waiting List can be changed as required. All of the standard sorting and filtering functions can be used on this form.
Add a Client to the Waiting List
Tip: Due to the increasing number of fields, the Waiting List can be docked at the bottom of the screen rather than at the side. See our video on how to do this.
