An overview on the waiting list
The Waiting List is available in the Preferred & Ultimate editions of the Envision program. To upgrade go to Manage Account > Modify/reactivate subscription plan.
The Waiting List is a feature that allows clients who want an appointment to be tracked and booked easily when an opening becomes available. The request will be entered for a specific date range, with a specific employee, and for a specific service.
