Exploring Canceled Appointments in the Scheduling Graph Widget
The Scheduling Graph Widget provides a variety of graphs to help you visualize your appointments effectively. Among these, three specific graph types can be used to analyze canceled appointments: Canceled Hours, Percentage of Cancellations, and All Hours. These graphs offer valuable insights into your scheduling data, allowing you to monitor and understand appointment cancellations with ease.
Accessing the Scheduling Graph Widget
To access the Scheduling Graph Widget, navigate to your dashboard and locate the widget labeled "Scheduling Graphs."
Changing the Graph Type
To change the graph type, click on the three dots located in the upper-right corner of the widget. This will open a dropdown menu where you can select your desired graph type.
Customizing Scheduling Graphs
Each scheduling graph includes a filtering tool at the top, allowing you to customize your graph. (Note: If you leave a section blank, the graph will automatically include all options for that section.)
Saving and Printing Your Graph
After generating your graph, you can save or print it by clicking on the hamburger menu located in the upper-right corner of the graph. This will open the file format menu, allowing you to select your preferred option.
Understanding the Canceled Hours Graph
The Canceled Hours Graph displays the total rendered canceled hours. By default, it includes all locations, payers, appointment types, staff, and clients unless specific filters are applied.
Understanding the Percentage of Cancellations Graphs
The Percentage of Cancellations Graph shows the percentage of rendered canceled appointments. By default, it includes all locations, payers, appointment types, staff, and clients unless specific filters are applied.
Understanding the All Hours Graph
The All Hours Graph displays all hours in a bar graph format, categorized into Pending, Scheduled, Canceled, and Rendered hours.
Pending Hours: Sessions where notes have been entered, but the user has not clicked the Complete button.
- Scheduled Hours: Sessions that do not have any session notes entered.
By default, this graph includes all locations, payers, appointment types, staff, and clients unless specific filters are applied.

FAQ
Q: Why don’t I see the canceled appointment on the schedule anymore? |
A: If the appointment was deleted using the trash can icon instead of the cancel icon, it will be removed from the schedule and will not appear in the Sessions Cancellation Report. |
Q: I am unable to click on the cancel icon. How can I cancel the appointment? |
A: This may be due to permission restrictions set by your agency. Contact your agency administrator to confirm the company policy regarding appointment cancellations. If permissions are limited, the administrator may need to cancel the appointment on your behalf or adjust your access rights. (See User Roles & Permissions for more information.) |
Q: What’s the difference between canceling and deleting an appointment? |
A: Canceling keeps a record of the appointment and its reason in the Sessions Cancellation Report, whereas deleting removes the appointment entirely from the schedule and reports. |
Q: What should I do if I accidentally delete an appointment instead of canceling it? |
A: Deleted appointments cannot be retrieved. You will need to recreate the appointment manually. |
Q: Can I generate a Sessions Cancellation Report for multiple staff members? |
A: Yes, you can leave the staff field blank when generating the report. This will include all staff members in the report. |
Q: I am not able to locate or click on the delete / trash can button. What should I do? |
A: Users need the appropriate permissions to access the scheduling module and modify appointment statuses. Contact your administrator to adjust permissions if needed. (See User Roles & Permissions for more information.) |
Q: I am not able to locate Manage Appointments. What should I do? |
A: This issue may be related to permission restrictions set by your agency. Contact your agency administrator to confirm whether you have access to the Manage Appointments feature. If permissions are limited, the administrator may need to enable this access for your user role or assist you with managing appointments directly. (See User Roles & Permissions for more information.) |
Q: I am not able to find all my appointments under Manage Appointments. What should I do? |
Currently Manage Appointments is not available for future appointments. If the appointment is not set in the future, please verify your filtering options are correct. |
