Overview

Outcomes provide structured reasons for appointment cancellation and completion. Instead of free-form text, Agents select from a predefined list, ensuring consistent reporting and analytics.

If outcomes are not configured for a subject, Agents see a free-form Outcome remark field instead.

Adding outcomes

  1. Go to Organisation > Outcomes.
  2. Click + Outcome.
  3. Fill in the following fields:
Field Description
Name The display name of the outcome
Outcome type Select Cancellation or Completion
Description An optional description explaining when to use this outcome
  1. Click Save.

Creating outcome lists

Outcome lists group related outcomes together. You can create separate lists for different subjects or scenarios.

  1. Go to Organisation > Outcomes.
  2. Click + Outcome List.
  3. Fill in the following fields:
Field Description
Name The display name of the outcome list
Outcome type Select Cancellation or Completion (must match the outcomes you link)
Linked outcomes Select the outcomes to include in this list
  1. Click Save.

Adding outcome lists to subjects

Once you have created outcome lists, link them to subjects so Agents can use them:

  1. Go to Organisation > Subjects.
  2. Select the subject you want to configure.
  3. Set the following fields:
Field Description
Outcome list for completion The outcome list Agents choose from when completing an appointment
Outcome list for cancellation by contact The outcome list used when a customer cancels
Outcome list for cancellation by Agent The outcome list Agents choose from when they cancel an appointment
  1. Click Save.

You can assign different outcome lists for completion and cancellation, and even different lists for customer-initiated versus Agent-initiated cancellations.
