Arrival time
The arrival time field displays the exact time the patient arrives at the practice (the time the patient is added to the queue).

Reason
The reason field is used to record the reason for visit or the nature of the ailment. This allows the vet to determine which patients in the queue need urgent attention. Those patients can then be attended to first.

Doctor
The doctor field is used to indicate the name of the doctor whom the client has come to see. This function is helpful if there is more than one vet in the practice.
