The Appointment List will generate a list view of appointments. This view can be used as a report as there are many different filtering capabilities that can be used to help audit for specific criteria such as incomplete appointments or appointments with billing issues. Utilizing the Appointment List for review purposes can help supervisors to review session notes/leave comments on session notes for staff, help to ensure that services were delivered/completed as planned, and assist Billers and Payroll specialists in reviewing what is ready/not ready to be billed to funders or paid to staff, prior to running the Billing Export or Payroll Export.
