Not all of your clients are the same.

How to Toggle a Warning for a Specific Appointment

• After you create an appointment, simply right-click it and from the pop-up menu, select Toggle Warning.

To do that, click on the appointment to open the Appointments Panel. Under Appointment Details → Notes, type in the information regarding this unique client.

• To unmark an appointment with the Appointment Warning icon, right-click it again. From the popup menu select Toggle Warning again.

Automatically add an Alert Note for all Appointments

5. Here, you can see the option to add Alert Notes as well to toggle Appointment Warnings by default. Once you add the notes and turn on the Appointment Warnings switch, click on the green Save Changes button on the lower right corner of your screen to apply the settings.
