I wish to schedule a service provided weekly for 6 consecutive weeks put wish to schedule them as separate individual blocks of 6 weeks with a specified start date. Is this possible?
For example a block of 6 weekly sessions at 11.00am for one hour provided by a specific employee. Each customer books once for all 6 sessions and pays the entire fee of £100 when booking.
I have looked at the employee settings and the services setting but can't see how to do this. Please help.
You should be able to achieve this with our recurring appointment option.
The Recurring Appointments feature gives your customers the ability to book an appointment that repeats by choosing the date and the time for the first appointment and then selecting the type of recurrence and number of repeating all in one booking process.
Thank you Marko, I have tried using the Recurring Appointment option and have had some success. My problem is how do I set specific dates for the 6 appointments. For example I want to set the 6 dates as the 21 and 28 Aug and the 4, 11, 18 and 25 Sept, and when someone books the 21 Aug they also book the other 5 and are able to pay for all 6.
Does this depend on the availability of the employee or the service. Could I set a specific employee with only those dates available or is there a better way?
Service work hours and days depend on employee work hours and days. So what you there those times and days will shoe on the booking form.
The availability of the service is defined by employees' working hours, so you would need to edit those in order to achieve this.
When you go to Amelia/Employees, and select that employee, go to the Work Hours tab. In there create several working periods. For example:
My employee would work on "Service 1" and "Service 2" from 08:00 - 10:30, on "Second" service from 10:30 - 15:30, and then again on "Service 1" and "Service 2" from 15:30 - 24:00.
You'd be adding these periods by clicking on the blue + sign next to the name of the day, in the top right.
As for recurring appointments you can set that the are repeated for that service each week like this
That was very helpful. I understand now how to control the availability of the employee.
The problem that leaves is how to schedule the availability of the service. Under the service details tab I can set the number of appointments per customer
and under the Duration and Timing tab I can set the minimum and Maximum capacity
The problem is with the settings shown after one customer has booked a series of 6 appointments the dates are greyed out(unavailable to book) for any further customers.
When you offer group classes you need to enable the option "Allow booking below minimum capacity" in Amelia/settings/appointment settings. When this is enabled, multiple customers will be able to book the same time slot, without having to fill in the minimum capacity.
This should help.
If you have any more questions please feel to open another ticket.
