Create new service:

Start this way: Go to Settings and click Services. Select "create new service" (direct link: https: //kund.bokadirekt.se/Beta/Settings/SubscriberServiceAdd.aspx)
Name and service description: Select the name and describe the service carefully. Describe the service well and use synonyms for the service's name and properties - it will lead to more traffic from search engines.
Visibility: Choose whether the service should be public (so that your customers can book it themselves) or internally (so that only you or your colleagues can book times when you are logged in to the calendar)
Price and duration: Also determine the price and length of the service. These must be entered but can be hidden on the booking page. Click in hide price or length of time to hide them.
Group title: By selecting a group header, you can group the new service together with other similar services. Select the same group header for the services to be grouped together.

Advanced settings:

Number of people who can book on the same time: Under advanced settings you can choose how many people can book the service at the same time. If there is more bookable spots than 1, enter the maximum number here (eg spin class with room for 30 people etc.).
Pause after booking: Do you want a break after treatment, eg. to clean in order or pay, you should enter the number of minutes here.
Color: Here you can specify your own color for different services in the calendar. In this way you can easily see which service is booked just by seeing what color the next booking has.

Then click save.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you save the settings above, you need to add the new service to your calendar! Go to Settings and click on your calendars name. Choose Basic Settings, check new service and save. If the service should be bookable at all times in the calendar; click yes on the question "Update existing opening hours".

Create new calendar:

In case another person wants a calendar in the system then you should add a new calendar. Before adding the calendar, there are a few points to consider:

Adding a new calendar entails a cost (if you do not have a large number of free calendars)

The cost of a new calendar is stated in your agreement. Double check with your contact person or write in our chat when logged in if you are unsure of the cost.
If you add a new calendar, you are responsible for deleting the calendar if you are no longer in need of it.

Here's how to create another calendar:

Start like this: Go to Settings and Calendar. Select Create New Calendar. (Quick Link: https: //kund.bokadirekt.se/Beta/Settings/SubscriberResourceAdd.aspx)

Basic settings:

Name: Select the name of who or what can be booked in the calendar.
Time interval: Decide what time the calendar should display. If you normally work between 8-17 but sometimes between 7 and sometimes 20 then you should choose a time interval between 7-20. If you always work between 8-17, choose 8-17.
Place: If you have several receptions or addresses that you want to connect to your Bokadirekt account, you should choose which place the new calendar should be linked to.
Connect services: Now you should decide which services should be bookable on the calendar. Check those to be offered. Do you want to add new services - read more in the chapter on "adding new services" here: http://bokadirekt.deskpro.com/kb/articles/4-j-vill-l-gga-till-en-new- tj NST
Marketing and Relations:

6.2 Customer surveys: Do you want the calendar to do automatic customer surveys (at a cost of SEK 29 per calendar and month) then click here.

6.3 Gift cards: With Bokadirekt's gift card service, your customers can easily buy gift cards digitally with you, around the clock, on your booking page. The cost is 5% of the purchased amount.

Advanced settings:

Field: Here you decide which information should be visible and mandatory to fill in for your customers when they book. The Notes field allows you to set the name yourself by changing the "Alias ​​for Notes".
Calendar interval: You can decide for yourself what interval your calendar should be displayed. If you want to enter bookings and opening hours carefully, you should choose 10 or 15 minute intervals.
Booking rules: Choose how close to a time your customers can book the time and how close to the time it is possible to cancel the same time.

SMS: It is possible to send a variety of automatic SMS with the system. E.g. reminder SMS to both the customer and the person connected to the calendar. Do not forget to enter a mobile phone number for the person connected to the calendar further down below the calendar settings under personal information so that the system knows where the SMS should be sent.

Confirmation and booking texts: You can customize all texts in SMS, e-mail confirmations and reminders.

Use the codes under each function so that the system automatically selects the service name, price and start time based on the information in the booking.
Personal Information: Be sure to fill in the personal data that should be linked to the calendar. Booking confirmations via email will automatically go to the email provided. The same applies to phone numbers and SMS.
