Staff

Staff are the people customers book. Give them a photo, their services, their own working hours and time off.

How-to guide1 min read

Add a staff member

  1. Open Staff and choose Add staff member.
  2. Add their name, a title such as "Boot fitter", a photo and a short bio. Customers see these when they choose who to book.
  3. Under Services, tick what they take.
  4. Under Working hours, leave Own hours off if they work whenever the location is open, or turn it on and set their days and hours. Use Add hours for a split day, such as 09:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 17:00.
  5. Choose Add staff member.

Customers can only book someone inside both their own hours and the location's opening hours.

Link their Orbit account

Under Orbit account, choose the person's sign-in. Their own appointments then come first when they open Booking Orbit.

Time off

Open the person and choose Add time off under Time off and extra hours. Choose whole days for a holiday, or a few hours for a course or a dentist appointment. You can also add Extra hours, such as a Saturday before the ski season.

Stop taking bookings

Turn off Takes bookings while someone is away for a long time. Their past and booked appointments stay. To remove someone for good, move any appointments still to come to someone else first, then choose Move to the bin.

Your plan sets how many staff members your organisation can have across all locations.
