Copy of Appointment List Tutorial.

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.

Leaving any filters blank will pull in all within that category EX: If you leave the Place of Service filter blank, then your results will include all different Places of Service selected on appointments Best practice recommendation is to utilize the Appointment List prior to running payroll or billing through the Reporting Dashboard so you can search for incomplete appointments within a certain date range Appointment Status: For Non-billable and Travel appointments, all that is required is a staff verification. For billable appointments, it could also require a parent verification and/or a session note. Appointment status is based on what requirements for billable appointments are entered in Settings>Scheduling Settings>Basic Info When the Appointment List is filtered using the “ALL” option, or any of the cancelled or archived options, the Total Hours at the top will include the hours of any cancelled and archived appointments
Appointment List Header Information	The Appointment List will show: At the top, the total number of hours based upon the filters set Validation Appointment Type Appointment Tag Service Line and Service Appointment location Place of Service Hour, Day, Date, and Time Client Staff Member Status Session Note Staff and Guardian Verification Notes Appointment ID Actions	Column header names can be clicked on to sort the list by that header. Clicking on the same header twice will reverse the sort order. The validation column will show any alerts that might require attention such as if there is a staff/client overlap or billing issues Appointment location is the secondary location designated on an appointment, not place of service If any cancelled or archived appointments are pulled in, the total hours calculation will include the hours of any cancelled or archived appointments If staff have their location turned on in their device when staff or guardians are verifying, there will be a red location tag under these columns
Viewing Appointment Details	Under the “Actions” column, users can select “Edit” to open and view an appointment occurrence or series.	Users can view the staff and parent verifications, and session notes of completed appointments If given appropriate access, users are able to edit appointment details from this view. This is also dependent on if the appointment has already been verified or not. Once the appointment view is closed, the Appointment List will return with all of the previously set filters still in place
Completing Bulk Actions	When viewing the Appointment List, users can select specific appointments or select all appointments using the check boxes to bulk delete, cancel, or verify the selected appointments at once Bulk Delete: Check appointments desired, then select Actions>Delete Confirm you want to delete all selected appointments Bulk Cancel: Check appointments desired, then select Actions>Cancel A cancellation details window will open and show you how many appointments will be cancelled Choose whether the family cancelled or the staff cancelled and complete the remaining fields as needed.

Travel appointments cannot be canceled in bulk Appointments with a status of “Complete” cannot be canceled in bulk Previously canceled appointments cannot be canceled again using this feature Users must have access to “Edit Appointments” and “Bulk Verify” in order to bulk verify appointments Bulk staff verification is not recommended as best practice as it only allows users to verify the scheduled start and end time, and does not allow users to enter the actual start and end time of the appointments. Appointments that were previously verified cannot be verified again using the bulk feature Appointments tagged with “No Authorization” may not be bulk verified if Company Account Setting does not allow. Parents must be present with staff to sign appointments in bulk. This feature is not available for parent guardians with Rethink logins.
Exporting to Excel	Users can export the Appointment List to Excel to view additional information	The excel spreadsheet will show additional information on appointments such as: When the appointment was scheduled When the appointment was modified Staff and Guardian Verification address if obtained Pay Code used
