• Use the description field to explain what the room is used for.
• Keep room names consistent if you have more than one location or appointment book.

Troubleshooting

I cannot see Rooms in the settings menu

Check that you have opened the settings cog from the diary and that your user permissions allow access to room settings.

I cannot add a new room

Check that you have permission to edit settings. If you can view rooms but cannot add one, ask a manager or administrator to check your access.

The room has been created but I cannot book into it

Check that the room has been added correctly and that any related service, appointment book or booking settings are configured for the way your salon uses rooms.

I entered the wrong room name or description

Return to the Rooms settings area and check whether the room details can be edited. If you are unsure, ask a manager before changing room settings.
