Good to know

  • Changing the service or format of a visit that is already paid, charged or on a pay link is refused if the price would change.
  • Cancelled visits are hidden on the calendar by default. Select the cancelled hidden · Show link at the top of the calendar to see them.
  • A cancelled or no-show appointment shows Rebook, which starts a new booking with the same client, staff and service.
  • The reasons in the list come from Settings → Schedule → Cancellations. If none are set up, ask an owner or manager to add them.
  • If your clinic lets clients change their own visits in the portal, an appointment they moved or cancelled shows Rescheduled by client or Cancelled by client.
  • No show and Complete ask you to confirm in the same way. Complete also offers Book next visit.
  • If your clinic's policy does not let staff cancel or move an appointment this close to its time, Oben refuses. Someone who can manage clinic settings can open Clinic-authorized policy exception, give a reason, and go ahead.
