In Synero, the General Settings section allows you to configure fundamental aspects of your booking system, ensuring it aligns with your business requirements. Here’s a breakdown of the available settings:
Time Slot Length
Define the default duration for each booking slot. For example, setting it to 30 minutes means customers can schedule appointments at intervals like 10:00 AM, 10:30 AM, 11:00 AM, etc.
Set Slot Length as Service Duration
Enable this option to match the time slot length with the specific duration of each service. If a service lasts 1 hour, available booking times will reflect that interval (e.g., 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM).
Minimum Time Requirement Prior to Booking
Specify how far in advance customers must book an appointment. For instance, setting this to 1 day prevents same-day bookings, ensuring adequate preparation time.
Limited Booking Days
Determine the maximum number of days into the future that customers can schedule appointments. For example, setting it to 90 days restricts bookings beyond three months.
Week Starts On
Choose the starting day of the week (Sunday or Monday) to match your regional or personal preference.
Date Format
Select your preferred date display format (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY) to ensure clarity for your clientele.
Time Format
Opt between a 12-hour (AM/PM) or 24-hour time display based on your business’s and customers’ familiarity.
Default Appointment Status
Decide the initial status of new appointments. For instance, setting it to “Pending” requires administrative approval before confirmation.
Show Timeslots in Client Time-Zone
When enabled, customers view available times adjusted to their local time zone, facilitating accurate scheduling across different regions.
Allow Admins to Book Appointments Outside Working Hours
Enable this to grant administrators the flexibility to schedule appointments beyond standard operating hours, accommodating special requests or exceptions.
Only Registered Users Can Book
Restrict booking capabilities to users with registered accounts, adding a layer of security and ensuring that only authorized individuals can schedule services.
Create a New User on New Booking
Automatically generate a user account upon a new booking, streamlining the process for first-time clients and maintaining organized records.
Adjusting these settings allows Synero to operate in harmony with your business’s unique scheduling policies and preferences, enhancing both administrative efficiency and customer satisfaction.
