Auto update appointment status to "Late Cancel" if cancelled from the client portal within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time.

Its frustrating that this issues was brought up so long ago and still hasn't been added. I have had this happen 3 times, just this week.

At our practice, like most, we appreciate a 24 hour cancelation. There may be a fee processed for an appointment that is canceled with less than 24 hours notice, so the distinction is important. It would be helpful if the TN system could automatically indicate the difference based on the time when a client self-cancels via the Client Portal. Say, if they cancel 24 hours+ prior to scheduled appointment, it would be labeled as Canceled. If they self-cancel with less than 24 hours prior to scheduled appointment, it would be labeled as Late Cancel.
This would be helpful, especially since our practice has chosen to move away from the Text Message Reminders, which do provide a time stamp. We use the email reminders, but there is no time stamp due to it being a Do Not Reply email. Hope it can become a feature option! Thank you!

Create an option to add a late cancellation policy to the client portal, so that if a client cancels during the late cancellation window, the appointment is automatically marked as "late cancel" rather than just "cancelled". In addition, a feature to include a pop-up reminder to the client that they are cancelling within the late cancellation window and will be charged the fee.
