General information about Appointment Types (Basics' Settings).

Basics' settings

Name

The name of the Appointment Type is visible on each screen of the booking process. Make sure to make this descriptive so the customer knows what they’re signing up for.

Duration

The length of the Appointment Type. You can select how long you expect this service or event to take.

Units can be set to minutes, hours, days, or weeks. The duration is then displayed to your customer during the booking process.

Label

The Label field is helpful for admins to color-coordinate their Appointment Types. Labels are associated with a color and a title. This is not displayed to your customer.

Slug

The slug is used to help with CSS changes and to specify shortcodes.

You won’t see the slug field when you’re first creating a new Appointment Type. The first save creates a slug for you based on the Name you chose. After that first save, you’ll be able to see and edit the slug field.

As a result, this is the Appointment Type’s unique identifier and is helpful to know when you’re making CSS edits.

Note: Make sure you don’t use spaces or special characters other than the hyphen (-) when choosing a slug. This can cause unusual errors and behavior down the line.

Booking View

The Booking Calendar associated with the Appointment Type can show the available dates in either a monthly or weekly view.

  • Weekly
    • The weekly view is best for when you expect customers to book the nearest date and time.For example, a dog adoption center would want the new owners to book ASAP to pick up their new pet.

    • Monthly
      • The monthly view is best for when you expect customers to book dates further out from now.For example, a busy wedding photographer has clients booking months in advance and needs people to easily navigate and get an overhead view of the overall availability.

        The calendar is responsive to the size of the container; with more space, the calendar expands.

Instructions
