How to Get Here

You can open this feature in multiple ways: Use the method that's most convenient for you.

Use This Feature

Enable Arrival Log Mode Expand the Appointments panel of the patient folder Home page, if needed, and select the Arrival Log option. (See "Appointment History" for details about the Appointment History option.) The window will include appointments that are currently scheduled, as well as those that have been processed as kept.

Sort Results Click a column heading to sort the results by that data; click the same heading again to reverse the sort order.

Collapse / Expand Sections You can click the arrow in each status heading to collapse / expand that section, allowing more room on your screen for the type of appointments you wish to view.

Review & Edit Details Click the column you want to change, and enter the time of day the patient arrived, was seated, placed in check-out or exited the operatory. The remaining columns are calculated automatically, and cannot be edited by you.

Go to Appointment - Click an appointment to open your Scheduler to that date, with the appointment selected and the patient activated. If you have multiple Scheduler tabs open, clicking a patient appointment link will bring the left-most tab to the front of your Edge window. Note that before you click the link, you can reorder your tabs by simply dragging them into place, thus selecting which Scheduler tab you want to work with. See "Set Up General Scheduler Options" for details about enabling/disabling the multiple Scheduler option.

Audit Appointment - Right-click an appointment to view the date and time the appointment was made, the last time it was changed, and the operator who processed those changes.

Adjust Columns You can adjust both the width and location of the columns in the window. All columns return to the defaults when you exit and re-enter.

Save Changes Click Save (or press Ctrl+S on your keyboard) to save any changes you have made to the appointment details.

More Information

Missing Columns - You may have narrowed a column so much that you can no longer see it. To restore column widths, exit and re-enter the patient folder to return the columns to their defaults.

View Arrival Log For a Specific Date - You can view the list of arrival details for all patients on any given date by viewing the Arrival Log option of your Scheduler's List View mode. See "View Detailed Appointment List" for details.

Print Arrival Log Report - Run the Arrival Log report to see your Patient Trackeractivity for any range of dates. Most offices run the report for today or yesterday, but it can be run for any past date range.  You will receive information such as patient name and procedure, when the patient arrived / was seated / exited, how long they waited, and the actual amount of time their appointment took.  In addition, the end of the report includes a summary of the data by procedure, doctor, office, and assistant. This information is useful in determining for how long an appointment procedure should ideally be scheduled.See "Arrival Log Report" for details.
