=How to connect location with service=
<br/>
Locations can be related only to service providers, thus if you need to relate service to particular location, you need initially to relate service to service provider:
<br><br>
:1. In Manage//Service Providers switch to “Services, attached to this service provider” tab for the selected provider and check the boxes with services this provider will perform. <br>Save settings.
<br>

<br><br>
:2. In Manage//Providers choose location and switch to “Location providers” tab to attach providers to this location by checking the corresponding boxes.<br> Save settings.

=How to set schedule for location=
<br>
You can set individual schedule for the provider and then relate provider to the location. Thus working hours of the provider related to location will automatically apply to location.
<br><br>
:1. To set individual schedule for provider please go to Manage//Service Providers, choose necessary provider on the left and switch to “Service provider schedule” tab. <br>For example, if you work Monday-Friday 9a.m - 5p.m you simply set schedule for those dates by moving the sliders to make time available (bright blue)/not available (light blue). <br>To make day of the week working/off use switchers near weekday names.
