Answering this question correctly is important to be able to track cancellations. When selecting Canceled Visit you are also given the opportunity to specify a reason for the cancellation from a predefined list of cancellation reasons.

Deleted Visit	The visit is removed from the schedule book and is not recorded as being canceled. This is useful if you make a scheduling mistake and need to move the appointment.
