This article lists all the settings that are related to a specific user. It concentrates on two different pages: Profile page and User services page.

1) Editing the basic settings

2) Additional settings

3) Setting the worktimes and vacations

4) Rental chairs and cash register settings

5. User services

The basic settings such as contact information are located in the Profile page and Information tab. Almost all users are able to edit their own information. The only exceptions are users with no login option.

It is important that contact information is up to date since we will send emails and text messages based on this information. Your personal contact details such as phone and email are not visible to your customers, however description, title and nickname are shown to your customers in Online booking and in Timma’s Marketplace. If you have a business Id you should also add that.

Additional settings are located in Profile page under the Information tab. Additional settings mainly include settings related to Online reservations. First there are couple of choices that you can make whether you want to receive emails from the system about reservations.

If you want to receive our emails to another email than your account's login email, you can change it by selecting Different address for booking emails field active. You can then define to which adress you want to receive emails from us.

Time magnets can be useful if you don't want to allow customers book times in the middle of free time slots. Time magnets limit the available times that your customer can book from your online booking. It helps you to reduce gaps during workdays and make your time management more efficient. There are three time magnets to choose from:

Time magnet (light) allows online booking next to existing reservation or next to start or end of a workday if the timespan is less than 4 hours.

Time magnet (medium) allows online booking for the days with existing reservations only for times next to existing reservation or next to start or end of workday.

Time magnet (strict) allows online booking for the days with existing reservations only for times next to existing reservation.

Worktimes can be edited in three different places: in Worktimes page (only available for admin users), in Calendar page and in Profile page and Worktimes tab. The latter is the best choice when you are setting worktimes for more than few days. In this page you are also able to set vacations and other personal leaves.

You can set your workdays to be opened automatically. This means that the system will open a new day for Online booking during midnight. You can define how many days forward your days are open.

Here is a step-by-step guide for automatic worktimes:

You can also set up sick leaves, holidays or remove work times for any selected time period by changing the type from “Select type of period”. To set a schedule where every second week, odd, or even weeks are different select save times and choose the alternative. Example: Even weeks mo-thu, odd weeks tue-fri.

Always remember to save after each step!

You can also set worktimes manually in the section below automatic worktimes. This is done by clicking the button with abbreviation of the week day and date and selecting the turquoise color. That means that the day is open. In the following time pickers you can select the start and end time of your day. Remember to save the worktimes every time before you click next month visible in arrow buttons on the top of the worktimes section.

Hint! The default worktimes come from the Default working hours section. It will ease your work if those match your typical weekly working hours.

Cash register selection in the User information box defines the company's reporting and cash balance your sales affect. Cash register selection lists the possible Business Id:s that you can be part of. Working as a rental chair is almost the same process as normal employee except you have to add your Business ID under Profile, and select the correct Cash register (your own) once you have saved your business Id.

If the salon uses an integrated payment terminal and you want to add the rental chair account to the terminal see the Payment terminals article. (Link to future article) Additionally you can change the billing email address to something else than your login email if you are paying your own bills.

The last part of user-specific settings is to define which services you use. That can be done in the Service page and User services tab. If the salon has already defined the servicelist in the Pricelist tab and you can just select the services that you use by activating In use checkbox from the left side of the list. After that you can check that the service settings are correct.

Duration of the service includes both the time that service should take from the calendar (duration) and the time that the customer is present in the salon (For client). If you for example offer a service that takes 45 minutes, but you need 15 minutes after that to clean the place you should select 60 min as a Duration, and 45 minutes as a Duration for client.

If you have a service that offers you change to take a break from that customer and serve another customer you can add Duration of effect to a service. This Duration of effect could be for example when a hair color is drying. If you add the Duration of effect to a service you must also define when the effect time starts from the selection on left side.

Hopefully these instructions help you to find the right settings for you!
