Good afternoon SoftDent girl,

I had the opportunity to go to the GOHS last week. Got tons of ideas to implement. The next one on my list is the short call list. The ideal situation came about on my first day back. Someone who now has a distant appt. that wants an earlier appt. if someone cancels. 

I checked the "short call" box and made the scheduling notes and scheduled her for the distant date expecting to see her in the "short call box" to the right of my appt. book.

My sad face appeared when I went into the box and it was empty and tried running a report and found no results. 

Went to SoftDent help which only showed me how to run the report. Called SoftDent support who told me it will show up if I don't make an appt. 

Can you help? It sounded so excellent when you described it on Saturday.

I did some further research on the exchange and did find a post. I can get results from a report and send it to a contact manager and use it from them. I just expected it to be in the box.
