Marking a patient as arrived is an optional step. It is typically used when a receptionist handles admissions before the veterinarian begins the consultation. When a veterinarian handles the admission process and begins the consultation directly, the 'mark as arrived' step can be skipped.

1. Open the patient's appointment in one of the following ways:
   • In the Appointments calendar, right-click on the appointment and select Admit appointment from the pop-up menu.
   • Select the appointment in the calendar to open it. In the Appointment details dialogue, select Mark as arrived to consultation.
   • On your Dashboard, find the appointment using the Upcoming filter under Scheduled appointments and select the Mark as arrived to consultation button on the appointment row.
2. On the Mark as arrived to consultation page, you can view and check the appointment details, edit them, and add notes.
3. When ready, select one of the Mark as arrived buttons depending on which page you want to be directed to.
