I'm considering buying Amelia booking software. I was just wondering is it possible to have the first screen where you choose a service tied into the second screen where you pick a date and time?
I am afraid that something like this isn't possible at the moment. If you have just one service, one employee, one location and you don't have extras and group booking then the calendar will be shown right away, but skipping the first step if you have dropdowns is not possible at the moment.
Thank you for your swift reply. I think this would be a nice feature (for me it's only one employee, one location but a few services). Do you think it may be a feature in the future?
Also, and maybe this is a separate ticket. Once I pick a service and pick a date within the same month viewing (but the day I choose is actually on the next month), I have to click on this 3 times in order for the times to come up. I imagine this is just a bug as you have to be on the correct month to choose a time. Is it possible not to show the greyed out dates which belong to the next month so the user isn't confused as they are currently clickable but no time is shown?
As for the booking form, at the moment it is necessary first to choose a service and click Continue so the calendar can be shown, after that first choice you can then see both service and the calendar and switch services to see how the available dates are changing, but it is not possible to set this as a first step since in that way Service wouldn't be selected and calendar will have all dates unavailable (and that would be confusing for the customers). I cannot say for sure whether we will work on this in the future since this is a first suggestion like this, but if we get more requests we will certainly think about it. We also plan to implement new booking forms so maybe some of them will better suit your needs.
As for the calendar, we have added this suggestion on our To Do list for the future updates and we will see what we can do. We will remove dates from past and next month or we will try with less clicks.

Hi Ailsa Craig,
Thank you for your interest in our plugin.
