Appointment cancellations happen for a variety of reasons. If you have an appointment on the schedule that you need to cancel, this can be done right inside the Appointment panel.
Step 1: Start by clicking on the Appointment you’d like to cancel or remove.
Step 2: Hop over to the Appointment panel.
Note: You can only cancel or remove an appointment that has not been invoiced.
If you have “Arrived” the visit, you’ll just need to un-arrive the appointment first. You can do this by clicking on the Arrive button again so it is no longer green.
Step 3: Inside the Appointment panel, scroll down to the Booking Info tab, and at the very bottom, you’ll see a Cancel/Remove button.
Step 4: Click the Cancel/Delete button, and choose which cancellation fee you’d like to use.
If a client is cancelling within a clinic’s late cancellation period, you’ll be able to select Late Cancellation from the drop-down and choose the reason for cancellation.
To learn how to set Late Cancellations up, check out our guide: Late Cancellations.
As you cancel an appointment, a pop-up will appear with a list of reasons to choose from. You can customize these reasons by heading to Settings > Language > Admin Site: Cancellation Reasons. You also have the option of selecting “Other Reason” which will let you include custom reasons as needed.
Click Save & Cancel Appointment, and you are good to go!

FAQs
How can I book a new appointment, when the time slot has a Cancelled, Rescheduled, or Deleted appointment visible?
Option 1: Click the cogwheel icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your Schedule. Then, use the toggle to temporarily “hide” any Cancelled, Rescheduled, or Deleted appointments. Next, hop back to the schedule view and book the new appointment in the time slot as normal. When finished, you can return to the settings gear icon to toggle back on the Cancelled, Deleted, or Rescheduled appointment types if you prefer to keep them visible.
Option 2: The second option is to use Jane’s double booking mode. You can click the letter “D” on your keyboard to move over any Cancelled or Deleted appointments, and enable your double booking feature. This will make space for the new appointment to be booked. To finish, click “D” again to disable the double booking feature, and everything will slide back into place!
Can I un-cancel an appointment?
You sure can! If you cancelled an appointment by accident, or the client changed their mind, you can uncancel the visit by heading to the appointment panel and clicking the Uncancel button below the Booking Info section:
Jane tip: When you cancel an appointment, the client receives a cancellation notification 3 minutes later. If you uncancel a cancelled visit before the 3-minute mark, the cancellation notification will not be sent.
