When you go to add an appointment to an order, once you select the appointment type, two options will appear; practitioner gender or practitioner...
Practitioner gender
By default, the "Practitioner gender" option will be set to "No preference". If you select this a drop down will appear where you can choose Male or Female...
No preference: If the customer you are booking for doesn't want to request a particular gender you can leave "no preference" as it will then show the availability for all therapists not only practitioners linked to the "Not decided" gender in the practitioner settings.
Female: If the customer you are booking for wants to request a female practitioner you can select this, this will then only show practitioners that have gender set to "female" in the practitioner settings
Male: If the customer you are booking for wants to request a male practitioner you can select this, this will then only show practitioners that have gender set to "male" in the practitioner settings
If you select on male or female from the drop down list, the available time slots will update based on the gender you select.
Practitioner
By default, the "Practitioner" option will not select any practitioner name. If you select this option, a drop down will appear of your practitioner names...
You can then select on a practitioner from the drop down list and the available time slots will update based on the practitioner you select.
