# Where can I find potential no-shows who tried to cancel but were unsuccessful?

## In TurnUp, you can find a clear overview of patients who attempted to cancel their appointment but were not able to complete the cancellation.

### 📍 Where to find this in TurnUp

Follow these steps:

- Go to the **TurnUp application**
- Open the **No-Show** module
- Click on the **“Tried to cancel”** tab

In this tab, you will see all appointments where:

- the patient attempted to cancel
- but the cancellation was not completed

![tried-to-cancel-tab-1](https://helpdesk.turnup.world/hs-fs/hubfs/tried-to-cancel-tab-1.png?width=670&height=274&name=tried-to-cancel-tab-1.png)

### ❓ Why was the cancellation not processed?

This can happen when:

- cancellations are not allowed according to your practice settings
- the patient tried to cancel too late
- the allowed cancellation period had already expired

The appointment remains active in your agenda, but the cancellation attempt is still recorded.

### 🔎 Why do I no longer see a patient in “Tried to Cancel”?

Sometimes a patient says they tried to cancel, but you can no longer find the appointment in the **“Tried to Cancel”** tab. This usually means that action has already been taken.

- **The appointment was already cancelled**  
  The patient contacted the practice directly and the appointment was cancelled manually. In this case, you will find the appointment under the **“Cancellations”** tab.
- **The patient cancelled and booked a new appointment**  
  The patient called to cancel and immediately scheduled a new appointment. The original appointment appears under **“Cancellations”**, and the new appointment appears under **“To Confirm”** (if it takes place within 14 days).

Make sure to check these tabs for a complete overview.

### 🚀 Why is this important for your practice?

This tab helps you to:

- Detect potential no-shows in time
- Proactively contact the patient
- Manage your schedule more efficiently
- Avoid unexpected empty time slots

👉 **If you see an appointment listed here, it may indicate that the patient no longer intends to attend and follow-up may be advisable.**
