What is a Service?

There's documentation on each of these additional items found in the related links, but on this page I am just going to show you how to add a new service offering.

To add a Service

To start navigate to Setup->Services

 

Then click on "Add New Service" on the top left (we talk about Personal Reasons and Editing services in separate documents)

 

There are three tabs that you will click through to define the information around the service you're adding which include "Service", "Location Hours", and "Staff". We go more deeply into what each of those mean in separate pieces of documentation, but suffice it to say that the:

  1. Service tab provides the outline definition of the service including the description, the duration (including buffers), the custom field application, pricing, and email instructions
  2. Location Hours tab allows you to set which locations the service is available at and between which hours in the day it can be booked
  3. Staff tab gives you the ability to select which staff member can provide the service

 

Once you have finished going through all the tabs, there is a "Save" button at the bottom of the "Staff" tab. Make sure to hit that to commit your service!
