Set up a standing appointment

Book a regular into the same slot every week or fortnight, in one go, without re-entering it each time.

Regulars who come in every second Tuesday at ten do not need re-entering every

fortnight. Book the series once.

Set one up

  1. On Calendar, tap + New booking.
  2. Fill it in as usual — service, staff, time, customer.
  3. Tick Repeat this appointment.
  4. Choose how often (every week up to every 12 weeks) and how many.
  5. Create.

Every appointment is made straight away, so they all appear on your calendar

immediately.

They are ordinary bookings

That is the point. Each occurrence is a normal appointment: you can move one,

cancel one, mark it complete or no-show, and take a deposit on it, without

touching the rest. There is no special "recurring appointment" mode where half

the buttons stop working.

Open any of them and you will see it marked as part of a standing appointment,

with a Cancel all future button if you want to stop the whole thing. That

only affects appointments that have not happened yet — past visits stay on the

record.

The hour does not drift

A ten o'clock appointment stays at ten o'clock through daylight saving. It is

worth saying because plenty of systems get this wrong and quietly move half a

year of bookings by an hour.

Clashes are skipped, not fatal

Over six months a repeating slot will hit something — a holiday, a one-off

booking already in the diary. Those occurrences are skipped and the rest are

booked. We tell you how many were skipped so you can place them by hand rather

than discovering the gap later.

If every occurrence clashes, nothing is booked and we say so.

What the customer gets

One confirmation, for the first appointment, then the usual reminder before

each visit. We do not send twenty-six confirmations at once — that reads as a

fault, and it is not how anyone actually tells a regular they are booked in.

Limits

is a year of weekly visits; past that your prices, staff and hours will have

changed anyway, so book the next stretch when you get there.
