          Extend Session Duration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Click on Modify Duration<\/strong> when you want to extend the session duration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Select the new End Time<\/strong> for the session<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

              \n
            • (Optionally)<\/em> Here you can automatically generate an invoice for the extension, without going through trouble of creating a new invoice and sending it to the client. Simply add the amount to charged & assign the due date. The invoice will be generated and sent to the client via email\/whatsapp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Mark Session as No-Show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Click No Show<\/strong> to mark this session accordingly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • A no-show session is a scheduled appointment where the client does not attend but does not cancel in advance. Unlike canceled sessions, a no-show remains on your calendar, indicating that the session was planned but the client failed to appear. Despite the absence, the invoice for the session is still processed, ensuring that your time is accounted for. Marking a session as a no-show helps maintain accurate records while distinguishing it from canceled appointments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Trigger Session Reminder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n

Once clicked, the reminder will be sent immediately, ensuring your client is informed and prepared<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
