How to Use Filters in the No Shows Report

This article explains how to build and filter the "No Shows" report in Pabau to see which appointments clients failed to attend within a given time frame.

Step 1: Navigate to Reports

Log in to your Pabau account, navigate to the left sidebar menu, and click on Analytics, then Reports.

Step 2: Open the No Shows Report

Under the Appointments category on the left, click on "No Shows."

Step 3: Understand the Filter Sentence

This report uses two filters joined by "and," meaning both conditions must be true for an appointment to appear:

Showing Appointment where Appointment date is in This month and Appointment where Appointment Status is No Show

Click on the "+" icon to add another filter, or click on any underlined word to change it.

Step 4: Choose the Object

Clicking on the object name (e.g. "Appointment") opens a dropdown with the available objects to report on:

  • Appointment — individual bookings on the calendar.
  • Client — client profiles in your database.
  • Invoice — billing records generated from sales.
  • Service — the treatments or services offered by your clinic.
  • Quote — quotes created for clients.

Step 5: Choose the Field

Clicking on the field name opens a dropdown of the fields available for the Appointment object. This report uses two different field types:

    • Appointment date — the date the appointment is scheduled for, which is what powers the first default filter
    • Appointment Location — the clinic or location the appointment takes place at
    • Appt With — the staff member the appointment is booked with
    • Created by — the staff member who created the appointment record
    • Created date — the date the appointment record was created in Pabau
    • Duration — the length of the appointment
    • Service — the service booked for the appointment
    • Price — the price of the appointment
    • Appointment Status — the current status of the appointment, which is what powers the second default filter
    • Cancellation reason — the reason recorded if the appointment was cancelled
    • Email Confirmation — whether an email confirmation was sent for the appointment
    • SMS Confirmation — whether an SMS confirmation was sent for the appointment
    • Confirmed — whether the appointment has been confirmed
    • Issued To — the client the appointment was issued to
    • Repeat Appointment — whether the appointment is part of a repeating series
    • Rebook — whether the appointment was rebooked
    • Requested — whether the appointment was specifically requested by the client
    • Appointment ID — the unique identifier for the appointment
    • Review Score per Appointment — the review score left for the appointment
    • Review Comment — the comment left along with the review
    • Online Booking — whether the appointment was booked online
    • Appointment Date/Time — the combined date and time the appointment is scheduled for
    • Converted — whether the appointment resulted in a conversion
    • Notes — any notes recorded on the appointment
    • Cancelled Date — the date the appointment was cancelled, if applicable
    • Cancelled By — the user who cancelled the appointment
    • Cancellation comment — the comment recorded when the appointment was cancelled
    • Team — the team associated with the appointment
    • Secondary Person — a secondary staff member linked to the appointment
    • Appointment Price List — the price list applied to the appointment
    • Case Name — the case the appointment is linked to
    • Auth Code — the authorisation code recorded for the appointment
    • Room — the room the appointment takes place in
    • Equipment — the equipment used for the appointment
    • Form(s) Completed — the form(s) completed in relation to the appointment
    • Custom Fields — any account-specific custom fields also appear at the bottom of the list, such as a custom Auth Code field defined separately from the standard one above

Step 6: Choose the Operator

The operators available depend on the field type selected. This report demonstrates both a date field and a status field:

 

  • is — matches appointments where the date falls within the selected value.
  • is not — excludes appointments where the date falls within the selected value.
  • is later than — matches appointments scheduled after the selected value.
  • is earlier than — matches appointments scheduled before the selected value.
  • is exactly or later than — matches appointments scheduled on or after the selected value.
  • is now until — matches appointments scheduled between the current moment and the selected value.
  • is empty — matches appointments where no date has been set.
  • is not empty — matches appointments where a date has been set.

Step 7: Choose the Value

For a date field like "Appointment date," clicking on the value opens a dropdown of preset date ranges under "Favourite intervals":

  • Today — today, from midnight until the current time.
  • Yesterday — the previous 24-hour day.
  • This month — the current calendar month.
  • Next month — the following calendar month.

For a status field like "Appointment Status," select "No Show" from the list of available statuses.

By following these steps, you can build a filtered view of no-show appointments in Pabau, combining a date filter with a status filter to narrow results to a specific time frame.
