In this article, we will discuss how to adjust the duration of an appointment from the schedule, helping you keep your schedule flexible and responsive to your clients' needs. Also, take note that the word schedule is lowercase.
Things to know:
- There are 2 ways to extend the duration of an appointment:
- By using the duration extender icon
- Changing the duration on the appointment modal
- Changing the duration on the appointment modal is available for all appointments
- The duration extender icon is only displayed on appointment tiles for appointments with one service, including multi-staff services (where more than one staff member is assigned, such as in a couples massage) and multi-client services (where more than one client is scheduled for the appointment).
- The duration extender icon is not available for single service appointments with buffer or processing time
