Checking a patient in 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 check-in 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 Check in patient from the pop-up menu.
   • Select the appointment in the calendar to open it. In the Appointment details dialogue, select Check in patient.
   • On your Dashboard, find the appointment using the Upcoming filter under Scheduled appointments and select the Check in patient button on the appointment row.
2. On the Consultation details page, you can view and check the appointment details, edit them, and add notes.
3. When ready, select Check in patient.
