Location Assignment
Team members must be assigned to at least one location.
How It Works
Single Location:
- All team members automatically assigned
- No configuration needed
Multiple Locations:
- Assign each team member to their location(s)
- Team member can work at multiple locations
- Affects service availability and scheduling
Impact on Bookings:
- Team member only appears for services at their assigned location(s)
- Availability schedule applies to each location separately
- Customer selects location first, then sees available staff
Changing Location Assignment
- Go to Team page
- Click Edit on team member
- Update location checkboxes
- Save
Service Assignment (Growth+ Plans)
Optionally assign team members to specific services they can perform.
Why Assign Services?
Useful when:
- Staff have different specialties
- Some services require certifications
- Different skill levels (junior vs senior)
- Customers request specific staff for certain services
Leave unassigned when:
- All staff can perform all services
- Small team with overlapping skills
- Want maximum flexibility
How to Assign
Method 1: From Team page
- Edit team member
- Scroll to "Services"
- Check boxes for services they can perform
- Save
Method 2: From Services page
- Edit a service
- Scroll to "Staff Assignment"
- Check boxes for staff who can perform it
- Save
Both methods update the same data
Impact on Booking Page
If customer selects a service:
- Only assigned staff appear as options
- Unassigned staff are hidden for that service
- Affects multi-service bookings (staff must be assigned to ALL services)
Team Member Availability
Set individual schedules for each team member (Growth+ plans).
Default Availability
New team members inherit:
- Location business hours
- Your default availability settings
Custom Availability
Override defaults for individual staff:
- Go to Team page
- Click team member
- Click "Set Availability"
- Configure their schedule:
- Working days
- Start/end times per day
- Days off
- Breaks
Example:
- Business hours: Mon-Sat, 9 AM - 6 PM
- Maria's hours: Tue-Fri, 10 AM - 4 PM
- John's hours: Mon, Wed, Sat, 9 AM - 6 PM
Availability Logic
For staff-specific appointments:
- System checks team member's availability
- Ignores business hours if custom schedule is set
- Time slots only shown when staff member is working
For "any available" bookings:
- System checks all staff availability
- Offers time if ANY staff member is available
