How to connect location with service?

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:

1. In Manage//Providers switch to “Services, attached to this service provider” tab and check the boxes with services this provider will perform.
Save settings.

How to set schedule for location?


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.

1. To set individual schedule for provider please go to Manage//Providers, choose necessary provider on the left and switch to “Service provider schedule” tab.
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 green)/not available (light green).
To make day of the week working/off use switchers near weekday names.
