Appointment Time Preference

When you use our booking widget, you can specify how you want PracticeQ to fill up your schedule, allowing you to make better use of your days.

Enter Time Preference Settings

1. Click Bookings → Booking Settings.
2. Select the Settings tab.
3. In the Time Preference field, you will see four options. Read below to find out more about each option.

Time Preference Options

• Normal
  
  • This option will display all the available time slots on any given day.
• Avoid Gaps
  
  • This option will attempt to prevent gaps between appointments. For example, you have one appointment scheduled for Tuesday at 12PM. When the next client goes to your Booking Widget to schedule an appointment for the same day, PracticeQ will show only the two time slots that are closest to the existing appointment, one before and one after.
  • This setting minimizes your idle time, preventing situations where you have one appointment at 8AM and the next appointment at 4PM.
• Fill Up Mornings First
  
  • When this option is selected, PracticeQ will fill up your mornings (up to 12PM) before accepting appointments in the afternoon. 
  • When a client goes to your Booking Widget, they will only see your afternoon time slots once your morning is fully booked.
• Fill Up Afternoons First
  
  • When this option is selected, PracticeQ will fill up your afternoons before accepting appointments in the morning.
