If as part of your package some choices need to be booked in at specific times during the guests experience or guests can only choose between a select period of time to book their treatment for example, you can set start time rules to ensure guests can only book these times and nothing else.
To do this go to Settings > Packages > edit > Package choices > add new package choice/ scroll to a choice you want to add a rule to > More options > add new start time rule.
You will then have to select the type of start time rule you want:
A fixed time
Relative to the start of the package
> Create.
Below we will provide more details of both options...
A fixed time
If the item i.e. Treatment, is usually bookable throughout the day 9-6pm but as part of this package it can only be booked at certain times during the day i.e. 12-4pm, the fixed time rule allows you to set a 'Between' time so offerings can only be booked/ start within that time range.
Enter in the 'Between' times > Select 'Create'.
For example if I set this as 9am - 12pm, and my treatment can be booked on the hour, guests will have the option to book for 9am / 10am / 11am and 12pm.
You will now see the timings you have set for this choice next to the start time rules.
To delete this rule select the three dots next to the fixed time > Delete.
If you want to add more start time rules for this choice select 'Add new start time rule' again.
Remember to press 'Save' on the choice you have updated anything on.
Relative to the start of the package
Should the package have strict timings i.e. the treatment should be booked first then straight after they must book the Sauna. You can use the relative to the start of the package to ensure the package choices are booked in exact order they need to be.
You will be asked to enter the:
'minimum allowed time' from the start of the package
'maximum allowed time' from the start of the package
If for example the guests second package choice needs to be booked for exactly an hour after their first choice, you would need to set both the Minimum and Maximum time to 60 mins. Or if there is some flexibility you can add a range of time i.e. minimum of 60 and maximum of 1hour 30 mins.
Once saved the start time rule will display like the following i.e. 'Between 60 minutes and 1h 30m after the start of the package'.
Trybe takes the time of the first package choice as the Start of the Package
To delete this rule select the three dots next to the rule >Delete. or if you want to add more start time rules for this choice select 'Add new start time rule' again.
Remember to press 'Save' on the choice you have updated anything on.
