Default Schedules
Added a mass edit option for practitioner default schedules. Hurray! You can use the schedule tool to edit default schedules in addition to custom schedules.
Leave the LABEL field empty and the software will apply the schedule to all selected practitioners default availability.
You can find this option at PRACTITIONERS > SCHEDULES
Book Now Header Button
If you have online booking enabled, there will be a book now button added to the header of all pages when a client is logged into the software.
Force Use of Booking Tool
Moreover, if you want your clients to use the online booking tool to request sessions, rather than the logged in method, remove the ADD SESSIONS permission from the client. When this is done your clients will be forced to use the online booking form only. This makes the session request procedure far more user friendly.
Enhanced Search Online Booking Tool
The dropdown selects for services, locations, and practitioners has been enhanced. We added a search feature. If you have a large number of options your clients can find them quickly by typing in a portion of the word and the results will automatically populate.
Mobile Friendly Times
To increase the user experience we have added a new selector for start and end times on the online booking tool. Overall it is much more mobile friendly.
Instead of clicking on the military time for hours and minutes we added a dropdown select option that has a human readable time with AM and PM indicators.
Additionally, times that are blocked off from the practitioners schedule will appear gray and unselectable.
Meeting URL Added To Practitioners
When you add a practitioner there is a meeting url field. This field is for saving personal meeting url's for the practitioner in the event they conduct online meetings.
This field is handy if you are using meeting platforms like Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams or Google Classroom.
For practitioners that already exist in your business you can add a meeting url to their account by heading to the edit page. The meeting url is display in the contact information of the view page.
Get Link and Update Link for Sessions
When adding and editing a session we added a GET LINK and UPDATE LINK option to the online meetings tab.If the practitioner is selected, the GET LINK will search for a Meeting URL for that practitioner and add it to the meeting link field. If no link can be found it will notify you. The same feature has been added to the edit page as UPDATE LINK.
This feature makes it easy to prepare a session to be held online.
Make sure to add the meeting url shortcode to your e-mail and text message notifications.
On a side note, the software will shorten your meeting links to ensure they fit into text messages along with the session information.
Links for Text Editors
We added a link plugin for all text editors. If you want to create a human readable link, especially if you are adding long character links to the editor, you can add the link with a short description. This should make reading text with links much easier.
Fixed Error Downloading Summary Reports
If you attempted to download a CSV, PDF or EXCEL Summary Report with a lot of data, you may have received a server error. This occurred because of the size of the data package.
We have since changed the process for generating these reports so this does not happen.
Summary reports can be accessed by navigating to: ACCOUNTING > RATES & REPORTS > SERVICE REPORTS > SUMMARY.
