Recurring Availability is based on a day of the week, and the hours you set for that day repeat week to week. For example, adding Monday availability from 8am - 5pm applies to all Mondays. The Staff Scheduler allows you to Add, Edit, and Remove recurring availability for all staff.
To manage Recurring Availability per Staff, navigate to your:
- Business Profile.
- Select Settings.
- Select Availability to go to the Staff Scheduler page.
- Select to Add, Edit, or Remove availability.
- To Add Availability, select +Availability next to the day of your choice.
- To Edit Availability, select the existing availability block and make the necessary edits.
- To Remove Availability, select the existing availability block and click Remove.
- Choose the Staff.
- Choose the hours for From and To.
- Select the Type of Availability.
- Select Save to add the hours and to return to Staff Scheduler.
- Repeat steps 4 - 8 until all hours are added.
Alternatively, you can add hours per Staff by navigating to your:
- Business Profile > Setup > Staff > View Staff Availability > +Availability.
- Business Profile > Setup > Staff > Define Availability > +Availability.
- Note: Define Availability automatically shows only the selected Staff's hours on Staff Scheduler and automatically assigns that Staff when adding hours.
Notes:
- From is when the Staff's working hours begin. For example, if availability begins at 10am, the first available appointment time shown to clients will be 10am.
- To is when the Staff's working hours end, not the latest they'll take an appointment. For example, if availability ends at 6pm, the latest online booking time for a 60 minute Service will be 5pm.
- Prep and recovery time can extend outside of availability. For example, if availability begins at 10am, a client booking a 60 min appointment with 30 minutes of prep time can select 10am as their start time. Additionally, if availability ends at 6pm, a client booking a 60 min appointment with 30 min of recovery can select 5pm as their start time.
- When booking online, Clients can only choose start times within the time frames you've added. When booking on the Schedule, you are not limited to the hours and have complete control over booking times.
