The calendar is the working surface of your day. It shows appointments, breaks and absences and prevents double bookings.
The calendar is part of PRO. What a person sees depends on their permissions: without “See all calendars”, only their own appointments.
The three views
- Day
- One day with a column per active person. A filter lets you hide individual people.
- Staff member
- One day for one selected person.
- Week
- Seven days for one selected person.
The time grid runs from 07:00 to 21:00. Row height can be switched between three densities if you prefer a tighter or more spacious view. Each column also shows how busy that person's day is.
Enter an appointment by hand
What you need
- A customer in your customer directory
- At least one service with an assigned person
- Click a free spot in the calendar or use the add button.
- Select the customer. You can create a new one right here.
- Add one to ten services and pick the person performing each of them.
- Set date and start time — either from the suggested free slots or as free input.
- Add a note if needed and save.
Several services are placed back to back. Service buffers are added, except between two services performed by the same person one directly after the other.
An appointment entered by hand does not send an email to the customer. Stylingcorner only sends confirmations and reminders for bookings that came in through the Marketplace.
Appointment status
- Confirmed
- The starting state of every appointment.
- Checked in
- The customer has arrived.
- In progress
- The treatment is running.
- Completed
- Final state. Also set automatically when you complete the matching sale at checkout.
- Cancelled
- Final state. The time slot becomes free again.
- No show
- Final state. The time slot becomes free again.
The statuses follow each other: from confirmed to checked in, cancelled or no show; from checked in to in progress; and from there to completed. The three final states cannot be changed afterwards.
“No show” is documentation only. No amount is charged and no fee is collected for it.
Move, extend, reassign
- Move: drag the appointment to another time. All of its services move together.
- Extend or shorten: drag the lower edge. The minimum duration is five minutes.
- Reassign to another person: drag the appointment into another column. Only owner and managers may do this, and the new person must be assigned to every service in the appointment.
While dragging, the appointment snaps to your configured time grid. Stylingcorner PRO immediately checks whether the slot is free, the person is on duty and the service matches them, and shows the reason when something is not possible. After a move you have eight seconds to undo it.
Completed, cancelled and no-show appointments are locked and can no longer be dragged.
Opening hours and working hours
Opening hours belong to the location, working hours to the individual person. Only the overlap of both is bookable. If there is no overlap on a day, the calendar column shows that the person is not on duty.
- Opening hours are maintained in the settings under “Location”, with one opening and one closing time per weekday.
- Working hours are maintained in each person's profile.
Closing a weekday removes every person's working hours for that day. Exactly one time window per day is possible — split opening hours with a lunch break and special holiday rules do not exist. Enter a lunch break as a recurring absence instead.
Absences and breaks
You can block time for each person: holiday, sickness, personal appointments, training, break, lunch, meeting, unavailable or other. Break and lunch appear in the calendar as a break, everything else as an absence.
An absence has a start, an end and an optional note of up to 500 characters. Owner and managers may create and delete them.
An absence can also be placed over an already booked appointment — Stylingcorner PRO does not warn about this. Check the calendar before blocking longer periods.
What is not possible yet
- There is no waiting list.
- There are no recurring or series appointments.
- There is no sync with Google Calendar, Outlook or iCal, and no calendar export.
- A person can only ever have one appointment at a time. Group appointments and multi-seat capacity do not exist.
- The calendar shows one location. There is no location switcher inside the calendar.
