Taking bookings | AIssie

Taking bookingsWhat has to exist before your assistant can book anybody in.Four things have to be in place, and a booking calendar with any one of them missing shows no available times at all, with nothing on screen saying why. In order: booking switched on, a location, your services, and at least one person who does the work with hours set.If you answered "take bookings and give quotes" during signup, all four were set up for you and you are editing rather than creating.How to do it

Open Quote & Booking Settings.

If bookings are not on yet, turn them on there.

Check you have a location, and that its timezone is right. Every time a customer is shown is rendered in it.

Check your services and their prices. Start from a template for your trade if you have not already — it fills in a working price list you then adjust.

Check there is at least one person under Resources, with working hours. A service nobody performs, or a person with no hours, has no availability.

Open Test your Booking and book yourself in.
