Changing Your Business Hours

Filed under: New & Improved — Patrick @ 3:35 pm

You can change the days and times when your business is available to take appointments right on your Schedule tab. We recently moved this functionality from the Staff tab so that you can quickly and easily change your business hours and immediately see the results on your schedule.

With Full Slate, you have many ways to manage your business hours:

  • Expanding your hours to include Sundays? Arrow your schedule forward to the first week you’re open on Sunday and click the ‘Change hours’ button. Highlight the hours you’re open and select ‘Available’ recurring ‘Every week’ with no end date.
  • Only available every other Saturday? No problem. After clicking the ‘Change hours’ button, highlight the hours on the first Saturday you’re open and then select ‘Available’ recurring ‘Every other week’.
  • Do your hours change seasonally? Just apply an end date to the recurrence so your schedule will go back to your regular hours at the end of the season.
  • Need to mark holiday hours for every employee at once? Select all staff members on the left side of the schedule and highlight hours across all of their schedules.

And each staff member on your account can control their own hours regardless of their role (administrator, schedule manager, employee), so they have full control over their schedule.

Add Color to Your Schedule

Filed under: New & Improved — Patrick @ 2:45 pm

Want to customize appointment colors on your schedule based on services performed? Now you can. With Full Slate, you’ve always been able to define a different color for each staff member in your business. Now, you can choose to instead define colors for each service. If you only offer a few services, you might make each one a different color so you can see what’s coming up with a quick glance at your schedule. If you offer a wide range of services, you might make each category of services a different color to help stay on top of your business. Choose from 12 colors from across the spectrum to keep your schedule organized…and looking sharp.

To customize colors, select ‘more’ at the top of your Schedule tab and click ‘color coding’. Decide if you want to color-code by provider or by service and then get creative.

Thanks for all the requests for this feature and please let us know what you think!
