Appointments in a specified date range can be marked as No Rebook by clicking on the No Rebook button (above) and using the Remove Range button (above) to enter the date range when no rebooking is to be done.
This feature is generally only used to clear expired cancelled appointments from this list so the practice can act on current cancellations.

Using either of the telephone or envelope icons within the Cancels tab will record the fact that contact has been made with the patient in the patient’s Contacts tab.
