When a patient arrives for a group appointment, you can mark their individual member appointments as Kept from the Group Checkin/Create Encounter window. This enables you to open a single group appointment and mark the arrived members as kept rather than opening individual appointment and marking them. The kept indicator helps you to distinguish between members who have arrived and group member who have not arrived.
