Hey, we have more then one location, and our employees switch between locations, how can one asign multiple locations to an employee. This aside, another problem is: They can only perform some services at one location and not the other. Is there anyway to restrict a service to a single location?
One employee can only be assigned to one location at a time. Since you have multiple locations, each employee is assigned to a single location. You can change this in his work hours, per time periods, so he works on Location 1 from 09:00 - 10:00, on Location 2 from 10:00 - 11:00, on Location 3 from 11:00 - 12:00, and so on, but he can't work on multiple locations at the same time.
Services depend on employees, so they are offered only on locations to which employees are assigned.
A workaround for this is not pretty, and if you need one employee to be working on all locations at the same time, you would need to create dummy employees for each of these locations. So, if there are 3 locations, Employee1 would need to have 2 more dummy employees, each of them assigned to a different location.
To avoid having bookings overlap, you would need to configure Google Calendar integration, and connect all 3 employees to the same calendar; enable "Remove google calendar busy slots" and increase the "Maximum number of events returned" to a bigger value. Then, when one employee is booked for location 1, other 2 employees will also be unavailable during that time.
Thank you for the message. We have decided to just throw out the locations feature all together and let employees make contact with clients to determine meet-up location. Thank you for the time to type out such a comprehensive answer.
