Setup Booking Preferences
Booking
Booking Interval: Determines how appointments appear on your appointment book, in minutes or availability for searching.
Example: If your booking interval is set to 15 minutes, your schedule will display 15-minute time blocks, and all service durations must be set in 15-minute increments (e.g., 15, 30, 45 minutes).Visit Type Required: Enable this checkbox to require workers to select a visit type when booking an appointment.
* Note: A visit type is typically used to track how a client heard about your business and the Visit Type selections can be setup in Setup Client Preferences.
Auto-Merge Appointments for Clients on Same Day: Will group non-completed tickets together on the same ticket as long as the client and ticket date are the same.
Hide Doublebook Time: When enabled, the doublebook time will be hidden on the calendar. If disabled, the doublebook time will display in a lighter color. Both scenarios allow an appointment to be booked over that time.
Hide Services Added from Checkout: When enabled, the services will not be added to the calendar when added via checkout. If disabled, it will add all services to the calendar when added from checkout.
Allow Express Booking Without Client Name: When the box is checked, an appointment can be booked in-house without capturing a client name or any contact info.
Max # of Availabilities: The total number of appointment availabilities listed when using the Find Appointment feature on the Appointment Book.
Display Availabilities: When using the Find Appointment feature on the Appointment Book, the available times will either be listed Chronologically (ex: 9:00 AM, 9:15 AM, 9:30 AM) or by Ranking Order listing the best availabilities first.
Appointment Status Colors: The colors shown here will appear on the left side bar of the appointment to indicate the current status of an appointment. For example: Booked, Confirmed, Completed, etc.
