Appointment List (No Comment) Report

This report provides you with a list, in order of scheduled time of arrival, of all patients who have appointments booked on the dates you select, with the Practitioners you select, and of the appointment types you select. It does not include the comments that are attached to these appointments, and is thereby a shorter report than the Appointment list (with comment).

The list is presented in the form of a table, with the following headings: Time, Duration, Patient, Type, Phone No, and File No.

o      Time refers to the scheduled time of arrival.

o      Duration refers to the length, in minutes, of the appointment, as scheduled.

o      Patient refers to the name of the patient.

o      Type refers to the appointment type that is selected when the appointment is made. The abbreviation is displayed here.

o      The Phone No column will display both the main and alternate phone numbers, assuming both are entered in the patient's file.

o      The File No column displays the patient's file number. If your practice does not use file numbers, then you can edit the template and remove this extra column.
