With the pre- and post-processing times, you automatically create breaks before and/or after each appointment. The post-processing time gives you rest or cleaning breaks after an appointment, while the pre-processing time blocks time immediately before it.
Meaning of Post-Processing Time
If you need a break after each appointment, you can enable this function and specify any duration for your break.
Every appointment booked by colleagues or customers automatically receives the break afterwards. This is not visible to customers booking online.
Meaning of Pre-Processing Time
The pre-processing time blocks a defined number of minutes before the actual appointment for the employee or equipment. This time is also not visible to customers booking online, so you have sufficient scope for preparations without restricting online booking for your customers.
Setting Up Post-Processing Time
First, set the duration of the post-processing time that will be added to your appointments. We recommend a commonly used duration that fits most of your services. In the next step, special regulations can also be set for individual services.
Post-Processing Times with Room Blocking
If you have created rooms and equipment in Belbo, you can use the additional options offered on the overview page. These are explained in detail in this article.
Individual Post-Processing Time for Individual Services
In the overview of your post-processing times, you can see all your services and the post-processing time planned for them.
If you have services that require a different or no post-processing time, you can set this for each service individually.
- Click on the desired service
- Under "Time Settings", select the option "Define Individual Post-Processing Time" and enter the desired duration of the individual post-processing time.
- Save your settings
The settings configured here override the settings configured in the Pre- and Post-Processing module.
Setting Up Pre-Processing Time
You will find the setting for pre-processing time in the same area as the post-processing time. Set the desired duration that should be placed before your appointments.
Individual Pre-Processing Time for Individual Services
Just as with post-processing time, you can set a different pre-processing time for individual services. To do this, open the desired service and select the option "Define Individual Pre-Processing Time" under "Time Settings" and enter the desired duration.
The settings configured here override the settings configured in the Pre- and Post-Processing module.
