Time slot means "a time assigned on a schedule". In Appointy you get 3 options to choose from for setting time interval. You can set either ONE of these 3 options.
- Login to your Appointy admin area
- Go to SETTINGS~>> BOOKING RULES~>> Appointment lead and cancellation times
-- > Allow Appointy to automatically calculate time slots on your calendar?
Appointy automatically calculate the time slots depending upon the various time duration of the services set by you. Selecting this option would allow system to automatically calculate best possible time slot.
-- > Set a fix time interval to show on calendar
Only fixed slots will appear. For example, you have set "30 minutes", then, the time slots will appear as:
10:00
10:30
11:00
11:30 so on and henceforth
(Note: Time-slots less than 10 minutes will make your account slow. Do this only if you have less staff and services)
-- > Show only specific times on the calendar (comma separated)
Precision scheduling will allow you to open your time slots at your will. You can open precise times and even control the order in which time will open.
For example, if you set 9:00 AM,12:00 PM#3:00 PM,6:00, then 3:00 PM,6:00 PM will be displayed only when 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM are booked). This is a paid feature and is available in PRO and above memberships.
The above setting works at BUSINESS level i.e., it will be applied to ALL your services. But what if you want to have fixed time for Service A and precision time for Service B. Well, in Appointy 3.0 release, we took care of it and introduced time slots at service level i.e., the time slots can be set differently for each service. Go to SETTINGS>>SERVICES area of your Appointy admin section.
-- > Default:
It implies your time slot interval set at business level i.e, SETTINGS>>RULES>>4. Appointment Lead Times & Cancellation.
-- > Fix Slot:
Only fixed slots will appear for that particular service.
-- > Precision Time:
Only precision times will appear.
Note: Time slots at service level is a premium feature and a part of PRO and above membership
