Each block represents a day of the month. The days are displayed on top of the first row. The color of each block depends on the appointment’s status as follows:

• Gray block: Tutor is not scheduled to work on this day.
• Light green: Tutor is scheduled to work and does not have any appointments on this day.
• Dark green: Tutor is scheduled to work and has one or more appointments on this day.
• Red: Tutor is scheduled to work, but is completely booked on this day.

To display all tutors again, simply uncheck the check box.

To see the schedules and appointments of a different month, you can use the next and previous month navigation buttons at the top or the month and year drop-down list boxes.

To get a detailed view of a certain day of the month, simply click on its block in the Monthly Viewer. This will bring up a daily view of the appointments:

The title bar of the window shows the name of the selected tutor and the date being viewed. Use the “Close and Return” button at the top right corner to go back to the Monthly Viewer.

Under the tutor’s name, you will see a time ruler showing the hours of the day from 7AM to 10:30 PM. Under this ruler you will see a bar representing the schedule of the selected tutor during the corresponding hours.

The color of the bar depends on the schedule status:

Example	Color	Label	Meaning
	Bright Green	Available	Tutor is available and has no appointments during this time.
	Dark Green	Non-exclusive	A one-to-many appointment is scheduled. The time slot is still open to more students.
	Pink	Activity Full	The maximum number of students allowed per tutor has been reached and the slot is not available for new appointments.
	Red	Exclusive	An exclusive appointment is set. No other appointments can be made in this time-slot.

Each appointment is shown in a separate appointment box. The appointment box has a list box with the name(s) of the student(s) scheduled for the appointment. The box also shows the activity (class) name, the start time, and end time of the appointment.

Purpose: View tutor schedules for a specific date.

The Appointments Quick Daily Viewer screen allows you to select a specific date from an annual calendar view.

As with the View/Cancel screen, you can apply any filters or combination of filters to find specific appointments based on dates, tutors, students, activities, etc. You can also click the Only show appointments with notes checkbox and then click Apply Filter to see only the appointments where notes were entered during the appointment scheduling process.

Purpose: To view and void cancelled appointments.
Access: From System Administration, click on View Appointments > View Cancellations.

This screen lists canceled appointments. You can use the filters on the right side of the screen to filter the viewed list of cancellations. After you set your filters, click the Apply Filter button. You can reset it back by clicking Clear Filters. The cancellations that show up in red text have been canceled by students.

If you like, you can also “void” a cancellation. Voiding a cancellation will delete the appointment record, thus neither the appointment nor the cancellation will appear in AccuSQL/AccuTrack Think of a “void” as the appointment never being scheduled in the first place. To void a cancellation, click on the “Void Cancellations” tab.

Select the appointment(s) you want to void by using the checkboxes. To void the selected appointments, click on “Delete”. You will get a confirmation pop-up message. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

Purpose: To view missed appointments and enter comments. No-shows can also be voided or converted to cancellation using this option.
Access: From System Administration, click on View Appointments > View No-Shows.

The SuperTable in this screen lists missed appointments or no-shows. Here are the fields in this table:

• Tutor Name: name of the tutor with whom the appointment was scheduled
• Activity: The service appointment was scheduled for.
• Student: The student that missed the appointment.
• Date: The appointment’s date.
• Start: The appointment’s start time.
• End: The appointment’s end time.

AccuTrack calculates missed appointments by comparing the sign-in records with appointments records and will consider a student as showing up for the appointment if all three conditions below are met:

1. The student signed in within the appointment’s sign-in window: The window is a period of X minutes before the appointment's time to Y minutes after it. The administrator defines the appointment’s sign-in window by setting X and Y in the Setup page of the Set Appointments module, or through the Control Panel. For example, if X is set to 10 and Y is set to 15 and an appointment is scheduled at 9:00 AM, then the appointment’s sign-in window is 8:50 AM to 9:15 AM. The student must sign in within this time period to satisfy the first condition.
2. The student signed out before some period of the actual appointment time: The student must be present for at least some portion of the actual appointment time. So if an appointment is from 9 AM to 9:30 AM, the student must be signed in at least until 9 AM or the system would mark them as a no-show for the appointment and their sign-in/our period would be logged as a walk-in.
3. The student stayed more than the minimum time period: The student must sign in for a minimum period of Z minutes during the appointment's time. The administrator defines this minimum period by entering it in the Setup page of the Set Appointments module, or through the Control Panel. For example, if the minimum period is set to 30 minutes, the student must sign in for 30 minutes or longer to satisfy this condition.
4. Student signs in to the appropriate class: When the student signs in for the appointment, the student must sign in to the same class the appointment is scheduled. For example, if the appointment is scheduled for Algebra 1, the student must select “Algebra 1” in the Activity Selection screen. If the student selects English Comp 1 instead, the student will be flagged as a no-show for the Algebra 1 appointment. If you choose, you can select the Bypass Activities and Tutor Selection screens for appointments sign-ins checkbox in the View Appointments > Setup > Appointment Options screen and the activity and the tutor selected at the time the appointment was made will automatically be used at the time of the appointment sign in, hence making this a non-item.

Use the edit box under the no-show table to enter the reason for the no-show. To enter a reason, simply select the appointment by clicking on it. The selected record will appear highlighted. After selecting, type the no-show reason in the edit box. The entry is saved automatically.

If you would like to void a no-show so it does not count against the student, click on the “Void No-shows” tab:

This screen is similar to the regular no-show screen, except that now each row has a text box that allows you to select it. To void a no-show, select it by checking its box then click on the “Void” button. Voiding a no-show means the no-show will no longer appear on the screen and will not count against the student when calculating the maximum allowed no-shows per student.

If you would like to convert a no-show appointment to an appointment cancellation, click the “No-Show to Cancellation” tab.

This screen is similar to the regular no-show screen, except that now each row has a text box that allows you to select it. To convert a no-show appointment to a cancellation, select it by checking its box then click on the “Cancel” button. You may also choose who the appointment was canceled by. Select one of the three buttons, “Cancel by Admin”, “Cancel by Student”, or “Cancel by Tutor”.
