Service Id
The Service Id is how you will most often refer to a service within the software. Typically it is the name of the service or an abbreviation of that name. You will want the Service Id to be unique and meaningful to help avoid any confusion.
Service Id Tip: You may also abbreviate the name of the service in this field. If you choose to abbreviate the name or enter an acronym, make sure that it is a name or acronym that everyone who will be using the Appointment Calendar and Point Of Sale screen will be able to remember when searching for the item.

📅 Time to Complete (Scheduling Sub-tab)
Initial Time: Initial Time is how much time the first portion of a service will take. If a service does not require any sort of break, intermission, or set time then this will be the only time field that will need to be configured. Use 15-minute increments only.
Process Time: The Process Time will provide a gap between the Initial Time and Complete Time. Entering a time here will allow you to schedule another service with a different client during this time.
Complete Time: The Complete Time is only used if you have configured a Process Time. This Complete Time will book the second portion of the service on the appointment calendar.
Example: If you have a service that takes 30 minutes to apply the chemicals, 30 minutes for the chemicals to process, and 15 minutes to clean up then you would set the Initial Time as 30, the Process Time as 30, and the Complete Time as 15.

✔️ Qualified Services
Qualified services designate the employees who are able (or qualified) to perform a service, as well as any price or time differences from the price and time entered on the general tab of the service record.
Qualified services are important for booking purposes, so that you schedule the right employees for the right services. Setting up employees here will also restrict them to be booked online for the services that they can perform.

Click on the Add By Employee button at the bottom of this screen to select an employee from the drop-down list.

Select a backbar item from the drop down selection box, and click on the Add button at the bottom of this screen to designate an item that will be used from inventory when this service is performed.
