### Pop-up messages while moving New and Existing Patient Appointments
#### New Patient
When transferring an appointment to the queue, a pop-up message will appear prompting you to register the patient. Click **YES** to open the Patient Register screen or click **NO** close the pop-up message or click **MAP EXISTING PATIENT** to link the appointment with an existing patient. Appointments imported from Google Calendar are categorized as new patient appointments. To avoid creating duplicate records, use the mapping option for existing patients.
***
#### Existing Patient
For this appointment, transferring it to the queue will prompt a pop-up message regarding the patient transfer. Click **YES** to proceed or **NO** to close the pop-up.
* **If the existing patient has an overdue amount**\
If the patient has an overdue amount from their last visit, transferring the appointment will also prompt a pop-up message regarding the pending amount.
