Email schedule summary to Consultant

If activated, Consultants will receive emails containing their schedule summary or a summary of their scheduled Appointments.

If activated, Consultants will receive emails in regards to appointments that have been cancelled.

Please be sure to enter your evaluation notes following each session.
