Set working hours

Set when each staff member or room can be booked at each location.

Working hours decide which times customers can book. You set them per staff member or room, and per location.

Set the hours

Open the staff member

Open Resources and click the staff member or room.

Open Availability

Click the Availability tab.

Choose locations

Under Locations, choose the locations this person works at. With one location, it is shown for you.

Add hours

For each location, click Add under Availability for the address. Click an entry to edit it.

Save

Click Save.

If no location is selected, the tab says "No location selected".

What you can set

Each entry opens the Availability form.

  • Follows opening hours. Matches your business hours automatically.
  • Available 24 hours a day. No time restrictions.
  • Time slots. Set From and To. Use the plus button for another period the same day, for example after a lunch break.
  • Advanced Scheduling. Set your own date and time rules, such as certain weekdays or a repeat pattern.
  • Exclude dates. With Advanced Scheduling on, open this tab to skip specific dates.

Delete an entry with the bin icon.

Rooms and staff with the Scheduled type set their times per service instead. See Flexible and scheduled services.

Only people who can edit this resource can save. Otherwise the Save button is greyed out.

For one-off changes, like a sick day or a holiday, use Add time off for staff or Close for a day or part of a day.
