How do adjust the calendar to show that a business is closed on a certain day?
Hi Nikki. You can use the Personal Task feature to block off time in the day and set recurring options, allowing you to repeat it daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Here's a link to the article: https://support.vagaro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010603213-Personal-Task-How-to-Book-a-Personal-Task-in-Vagaro-On-the-Web-Version-
My version has switched the time stamps to 8:10, 8:25, 8:40, 8:55. How do I switch it back to on the hour? It used to be 8:00, 8:15, 8:30, 8:45
Hi Anna. Are you referring to the intervals on the calendar screen in your account or the intervals on the online booking page? You're not able to change the intervals to one-hour increments on the calendar screen, but you can change it online (Settings -> Online Appointment Rules -> Search Appointment Interval).
Is it possible to limit the opening and closing times on the calendar? We are never open before 9 AM and are never open after 10 PM. Is it possible to limit the time on the calendar so that it does not show as much grey before and after opening and closing (ie. it starts at 7 AM and goes to 10 PM instead of starting at Midnight and going to Midnight)?
Hi Eileen,
If you are using Vagaro on a Computer, it will only show you the hours that pertain to your Business. If you are using Vagaro on a Mobile Device, it will always show you the full 24 hours. This is something we are looking into adjusting in the future, so keep an eye out for any updates.
When Two employees are sharing a room but providing different services, how can i make it so that we are not booked for the same time?
Hi Laura,
In this situation we would recommend adding your shared room as a Resource to your Service Class Menu. Then if you assign that Resource to all of your Services, the software will not allow you to both be booked at the same time because it recognizes there is only one room.
I hope this helps!
