From v11.3 The Short Notice List can also be launched from File > Short Notice List...
The layout and functions for the Appointment Gaps screen are the same as for the Short Notice List tab used by Receptionists.
The screen lists appointments for which patients would like to find gaps in the Appointment Book.

This provides users the option of booking one appointment ahead of another if no sequence issue exists, and shows them both appointments so that they can make this judgement call.
