The ability to indicate the patient wants an earlier appointment using the short notice tool is built right into the Add/Edit Appointment window.

To add the patient to the Short Notice list:

1. Open the Add/Edit Appointment window.
2. Select the Short Notice check box.
3. Select the check boxes beside the days of the week the patient is available for an appointment.
4. Click the AM or PM check box to indicate which times of day the patient is available for an appointment.
5. Continue making the appointment in accordance with the practice policies.
