MyTime offers a prebook appointment option to assist with keeping your schedule fully booked and accommodating your client with their first appointment choice. Pre-Booked metric is based on appointments booked by clicking the 'PreBook' button after a ticket is closed in POS and appointments booked by clicking the 'Book Again' icon in the appointment modal before midnight on the same day as the previous appointment. In this article, we will explore both options.
Things to know:
- Only appointments in the completed state are taken into account when calculating the Pre-Book metric.
- When an appointment is made by clicking the "PreBook" button after a ticket is closed in POS, the prebooked label will show up on the appointment modal immediately, and within six hours for appointments made by clicking the "Book Again" icon.
- Appointments not linked to a ticket will present the "Create Ticket" button in the appointment modal, whereas appointments associated with a ticket will show the option "View Ticket."
