How to access previous appointment notes

Past appointments can be reviewed any time until the end of the semester. Comments made in the chat are automatically stored as well as any edits or changes made on the whiteboard.
--Both the chat and the whiteboard are confidential spaces; the CWE will not share the contents of your appointment with anyone except you.

TIP: During your appointments (including face-to-face and Zoom sessions), make notes on the whiteboard so they are saved for you. You will be able to return to them later and don’t have to worry about losing them.

Here are the steps to return to a previous appointment. If you need assistance, please call us and we can help you over the phone: 973-655-7442.

1. Sign into the CWE schedule.

2. Click on the calendar icon in the first blue line of the schedule.

3. Use the left arrow on the calendar to go back to a previous month

4. Next, select the day of your appointment. If you don’t know the exact date, call us or check week by week. Your appointments will appear in orange, so they are easy to spot.

5. After you click on your orange appointment, the appointment box will pop up. Click the red START OR JOIN ONLINE CONSULTATION link to reopen your past appointment. (This does not start a new appointment if you are on a previous day/time.)

6. A screen will open showing the whiteboard space from your session, as well as the chat. If you don’t see your chat on the right side of the screen, click the CHAT box in the lower right side corner.

7. Close out the screen when you are finished reviewing your session.
