Client Schedule Explained

Modified on Mon, 26 Sep 2022 at 04:03 PM

The Client Schedule is a listing of ALL of one client's schedule, from all of their Service Orders. Use the Client Schedule to view and make changes to many services in one place, even if services are on different service orders. This differs from the Admin Schedule, where you view and edit services for All Clients, making to tougher to view and edit many services for only one client. 

There are many helpful ways to use the Client Schedule, you can:
  • Make bulk edits to services such as: 
    • Reassign many visits to a different sitter.
    • Update all visits to a different time.
    • Change the Schedule Ref Override if the pets in the home change.
    • Change a service charge for a client.
    • Update a number of services to a new service item.
  • Cancel, Void or Delete Services as needed.
  • View service history, or upcoming scheduled services, across all of the client's Service Orders.
  • View Service Activity and Service Reports.
  • Filter schedule by status, such as, cancelled or voided, or Service Group, such as, Walks or Visits.
  • Filter schedule by Assigned Staff and Service Group to aid in making bulk edits to specific services.
  • Add new services to the schedule, either to an existing order or to a new order.


Tip: Using "Client Schedule" to adjust a client's schedule, such as editing and canceling services is done in the same way as on the Admin Schedule.



Note: Learn more about what happens when making Schedule Edits and Updates.
