Your Time Panel settings effect how your appointment time slots display on the Time panel no matter if clients are booking a service based appointment or a seat in a class. Through the Time Panel settings window, you can adjust:
You will make each of these changes by going to Settings → Time and clicking on the "Time Panel Settings" button:
This will bring up your Time Panel Settings window:
On here you can adjust your:
Once you've made all the changes you wanted to make to your Time Panel Settings, you can press "Save Changes" at the bottom and check out how those changes may look on your Time page of your scheduler.
For instance, in the screenshot below you'll see I've changed the Panel Title to "Choose a Time" & added a bit of a description to the header text box:
Then when I go to my scheduler and view the Time page, I'll see the updated header and the appointment start times display every 15 minutes on the days I'm available:
When you open up you Time Panel Settings under Settings → Time, you'll see the option to adjust Appointment Start Times:
By default this is set to "Show start times based on service durations". To illustrate what this means, let's walk through and example. Let's say you're a massage therapist that has a "Deep Tissue Massage service set to last for 1 hour & 30 minutes and you have availability set up between 9:00am – 5:00pm. If you have your Appointment Start Times set to "Show start times based on service duration," then you could have appointments scheduled from:
If you switched to "Show start times on the hour" then the time slots for the appointment offerings would be (assuming no other appointments had been booked and you had completely open availability)
If someone booked the 11:00am timeslot with you, then the 12:00pm timeslot would be removed since the 11:00am-12:30pm appointment conflicts with that opening. The next available appointment would then be at 1:00pm.
If you switched to "Show start times every 30 minutes" then the time slots for the appointment would be:
Similarly to the example with the "Show start times on the hour" above, if someone booked the 11:00am-12:30pm appointment with you, then the 11:30am-12:30pm appointment and then 12:00pm-1:30pm appointment would be removed as the 11:00am-12:30pm appointment timeslot conflicts with it. The next available appointment would be at 12:30pm.
Switching it to "Show start times every 15 minutes", "Show start times every 10 minutes" or "Show start times every 5 minutes" would break down your appointment time slots in the same way as in the examples above but just in 15, 10, & 5 minute starting time increments.
