Display Time Options

For each Service Item, you can choose whether or not to have the Service Time displayed in the schedules. This option has three settings which you can select from the drop down menu:

• "Always" - If you always want the service time displayed on the schedule if you require a service to start at a specific time.
• "Never"  - If you never want the service time displayed on the schedule if the start time for staff is flexible.
• "Admins can Choose" - If you want an Admin/Scheduler to have the choice to display the service time on the schedule via a "Display Time" toggle button

  • Delete a Time Block: Select -.
  • Default Time To Middle Of Time Block: Sets the Default time of the service to the middle of the time block, which determines the column the service will be displayed in on the Column View schedule (morning, afternoon, etc).
