Overview

  • A SUMO Appointment has 2 status options = “Booked” or “Canceled”.
  • A SUMO Appointment Participant has 3 status options = “Awaiting, Confirmed, Declined”.
  • A SUMO Appointment Participant also has a “No-Show” checkbox.

How does this work in practice?

Each SUMO appointment can have multiple participants.  An appointment can be “Booked” with 3 participants, 1 can no-show, and the other 2 can show.

For example, Appointment #123 has a Doctor, A Mother, and her Child.  The child was unable to attend.  Therefore, a staff member marked the child as a no-show.  In this scenario, the following would happen:

  • The appointment on the calendar would have a yellow warning symbol Screen Shot 2015-03-31 at 8.44.03 PM next to it, indicating that someone on the appointment no-showed.
  • The appointment status would remain “Booked”, since it was not “Canceled”.
  • The appointment no-show checkbox for the child would be “True” or checked.
  • The appointment participant status for the child could be any of the 3 options (Awaiting, Confirmed, Declined).
