How do I add an Appointment Status?

To add a new Appointment Status:

1. Go to Settings -> Scheduling and click on the Appointment Statuses tab:

2. Click the Create New Appointment Status button:

3. Give the Appointment Status a name

4. Select a colour from the dropdown - this is the colour an appointment will appear as in the diary when this status is selected for it

5. Use the tickboxes to determine:

• if this is the Default status (the default status given when Appointments are booked) - there can only be one default status
• if it means the patient is attending (If you charge for DNAs, then set this to Yes even if the patient is not attending, so you can still invoice for the appointment - How do I charge for DNAs or Cancellations?)
• if it means the patient has arrived for an appointment (You can also choose to receive a notification linked to this - Can I be notified when a patient has arrived for an appointment?)

6. Click **Save **
