Before you start

  • Existing visit verified
  • Cancellation reason and follow-up known

Step-by-step procedure

Complete the task

  1. 1
    Enter information

    Open the exact visit

    Locate the visit by customer, property, date, and technician, then confirm its linked work and current status.

  2. 2
    Verify

    Check whether rescheduling is better

    Confirm whether the customer needs cancellation or simply another time; use Reschedule when the work is still expected.

  3. 3
    Select

    Choose Cancel

    Use the existing visit’s Cancel action and keep the linked work order, ticket, or estimate open unless its own workflow also ends.

  4. 4
    Enter information

    Record an accurate reason

    Select or enter the factual cancellation reason and any promised follow-up without adding unnecessary sensitive information.

  5. 5
    Verify

    Review downstream effects

    Confirm notification behaviour, technician release, follow-up requirement, and linked-work status before final cancellation.

    Final confirmation changes the live schedule.

If something does not look right

The expected button or field is not visible.

Confirm the record status, your role, and the selected tab; unavailable actions are often intentionally gated by those conditions.
