This guide explains the new booking cycle<\/strong> (Booking Management) in the system: enabling, setting up the services, packages, and employee shifts, then creating the booking from the calendar<\/strong>, moving it by drag and drop, changing its statuses, then payment<\/strong> from the point of sale and issuing the invoice.<\/p>\n

First: Enabling<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. From the Apps Manager<\/strong><\/a> enable the required apps: Sales<\/strong>, Clients<\/strong>, Point of Sale<\/strong>, and Employees<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. If you have the classic booking app, open Bookings (Classic Version)<\/strong><\/a> and click Switch to the Beta Version<\/strong>, so Booking Management<\/strong> is enabled and the classic one stops.<\/li>\n
  3. To go back: from the settings menu in the calendar choose Switch to the Classic Booking App<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note:<\/strong> Old bookings in the classic version don’t appear in the client’s booking history in the new version.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Second: Booking Settings<\/h2>\n

    From Booking Settings<\/strong><\/a> (four tabs):<\/p>\n

    1. Booking Workflow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Setting<\/th>\nOptions (Default)<\/th>\nWhat It Does<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
    How are employees assigned to bookings?<\/strong><\/td>\nPer Booking<\/strong> \/ Per Service<\/strong> \/ No Employee Assignment<\/strong> (Per Booking)<\/td>\nPer Booking<\/strong>: one employee for all the services. Per Service<\/strong>: a different employee for each service. No Employee Assignment<\/strong>: the calendar shows a single column without employees.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Allow Bookings Without Assigning an Employee<\/strong><\/td>\nOn \/ Off (Off)<\/td>\nUnassigned bookings appear in the Unassigned Employee<\/strong> column.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    How many services must be included in each booking?<\/strong><\/td>\nMultiple Services<\/strong> \/ Single Service<\/strong> \/ Default Service<\/strong><\/td>\nWith Default Service<\/strong>, a specific service is chosen automatically in every booking and cannot be changed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Allow Adding Services Without a Specific Start Time<\/strong><\/td>\nOn \/ Off (Off)<\/td>\nEnables the waitlist<\/strong>; these services appear at the top of the calendar as Waiting<\/strong>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    2. Managing Services<\/h3>\n

    Add each service: the name<\/strong>, the category<\/strong>, the duration<\/strong> in minutes, the price<\/strong>, the assigned employees<\/strong> (empty = any employee), the taxes, and the image. A service form<\/strong> can be linked (a form filled during booking<\/strong> or while performing the service<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

    3. Booking Packages<\/h3>\n

    A package is a group of services with special prices and durations (such as “Bride Package”). When it is chosen in the booking, its services are added consecutively at the package prices, and offers aren’t applied to them. A package is not a prepaid balance of sessions.<\/p>\n

    4. Shift Schedule<\/h3>\n
