# Mark an appointment as missed

{% hint style="info" %}
**Hint:** Appointments can only be marked missed (no-shows) after the scheduled start time has passed. 

If a client tells you in advance that they will not attend, you can cancel the appointment instead.

## How to mark an appointment as missed

When a client does not arrive after the scheduled time you can mark the appointment as missed (no-show).
