Assigning the role of Bookings Staff Member

Allow your staff to manage their own bookings by making them Bookings staff members on your site. This frees you up to focus on other aspects of your business and affords your employees more freedom.

To assign the role of Bookings staff member:

Make sure you add the relevant person as a staff member.
Go to Staff in your site's dashboard.
Click Give Calendar Access under the relevant staff member.
Click Send Invite.
(Optional) Click Invite next to Sync personal calendar in the Staff tab. This sends a second email to allow your new Bookings staff member to sync their personal calendar.

Allow your staff members to manage their own working hours and control their schedules. Staff members can then maintain their availability and reduce scheduling conflicts. This decreases your admin time and allows you to focus on other areas of your business.

Enter the Role Title (e.g. Senior Bookings staff member) and a brief Description of the role (e.g. can update and manage their own working hours).
Click to expand the Bookings permissions.
