Managing Locations

Learn how to create, configure, edit, and delete Locations, including attributes, templates, Headquarters Values, and organizational settings across your account.

Written by Sabrina Herrera

πŸ“ Overview

The Locations feature allows your account to be expanded to an unlimited number of Locations, all sharing the same database and reporting functions. Each Location receives its own Site Administration page, and many settings, including preferences, Staff Members, and Services, can be shared or configured independently across Locations.

⛔️ Please Note: The billing system is Location-based. As Locations are added to your account, your base billing price will be affected. Please reach out to Support for more pricing information.


🏒 What Is a Location?

For example, a physical therapy business with three separate office facilities can set all three up under one account. You have many options when setting up multiple Locations, including default sharing of preferences, Staff Members, and Services.

The Location you are currently viewing from your Site Administration page can be determined by checking the Location drop-down menu at the very top of the page. Unless you have set up additional Locations, this drop-down will only have one option. Many clients also use the Locations functionality to separate and distinguish different aspects or types of their business, not just physical locations.

Department rather than Location. This Term can be edited within the Settings tab > Terms Preferences.

⚠️ Please Note: When new Locations are added to your account, the Customer View will display a location list prompting customers to select a Location before scheduling an Appointment. The Location list is, by default, the first menu customers must select from in the scheduling process.


πŸ”‘ Setting Up a New Location

If you have more than one Location set up, you can switch between them from Site Administration using the Location drop-down menu at the top of the page. Select the desired Location and the page will refresh with that Location's data.

To add a new Location:

  1. Click the Lists tab.

  2. Click Locations.

  3. Click Add New Location.

You will be prompted to enter information for the new Location β€” which, except for the name, can match the main Location. This includes physical address, website address, and other details.


πŸ› οΈ Configuring a Location's Settings

When setting up a new Location, one key decision is whether to base it on Headquarters Values or an existing Location Template. Both options are described below.

Click the arrow to learn more about configuration options

Use of Headquarters Values

When setting up a new Location, the system prompts you to decide whether to use (or share) values from your Headquarters Location. Your Headquarters Location is the first Location set up on the account.

πŸ’‘ Please Note: If you will be setting up additional Locations, it is recommended that you add an identifier β€” such as "Main" β€” to your Headquarters Location name.

Headquarters values that are shared include:

  • Preferences

  • Services

When sharing these values, the new Location will not have its own independent Settings section β€” preference changes made at the Headquarters Location will affect all Locations sharing those values.

Use of a Location Template

Using a Location Template allows you to establish initial settings based on another Location without creating a permanent link. Unlike sharing Headquarters Values, changes made to the template Location after setup will not impact Locations created from it.

Any existing Location can serve as a template, and you may have more than one template Location. It is recommended that you review the Settings of the Location you wish to use as a template before proceeding.

To make an existing Location a template:

  1. Click Lists.

  2. Click the desired Location's name.

  3. Review the Location's information and ensure it is not sharing Headquarters Values.

  4. If not sharing, click the checkbox for Use this Location as a template.

  5. Click Update.

To create a Location from an existing template:

  1. Click Lists.

  2. Click Add New Location.

  3. Enter Location details as required.

  4. Set Headquarters Values to No.

  5. From the Location Template drop-down, select a Location.

  6. Complete any additional configuration and click Update and Continue.

⚠️ Important: Any modifications made to settings within the Lists tab are applied to all Locations, including those not set to share Headquarters Values.

βš™οΈ Location Preferences

Location preference settings for your Headquarters Location play an important role when adding new Locations. To review these settings:

  1. Navigate to your Headquarters Location's Site Administration page using the Location drop-down at the top of the page.

  2. Click the Settings tab.

  3. On the left side of the page, locate the Preferences section.

  4. Click Locations under Preferences.

  5. Carefully review the settings β€” these determine which Locations customers can schedule with and whether Staff Members can be assigned to more than one Location.

πŸ’‘ Please Note: If you choose to allow Staff Members to be assigned to more than one Location, you can set up separate schedules for each Location through each Staff Member's profile.

⚠️ Important: When setting up a Staff Member's schedule across two or more Locations, do not overlap hours between Locations.


✏️ Editing Location Information

Many settings and details configured when a Location was created can be modified at any time. This section covers how to view and edit Location information as either a Headquarters or Location Administrator.

To edit Location information:

  1. Click into any of the specific fields and update the company name, Location name, address, or other details.

  2. Click Update to save your changes.

πŸ’‘ Please Note: If your Location is not sharing Headquarters Values, you can also review configuration settings that determine scheduling rules specific to that Location. Click any of the pages listed under the Preferences navigation on the left side to view and adjust those settings.

πŸ” Viewing Location Information

To view a Location's information:

  • Navigate to the Lists tab and click on the name of the Location you wish to review.

  • Alternatively, select the intended Location from the Location drop-down menu in the upper right corner. Once the new Location loads, click Settings to view the available details.

πŸ’‘ Please Note: If the Location is sharing Headquarters Values, the information and preferences available to review or change will be limited.


πŸ—‘οΈ Deleting a Location

Prevent Customer Booking

If you only want to prevent customers from creating new Appointments in a Location, you can turn off that Location's ability to appear in the Customer View β€” without deleting the Location entirely.

Adjust Open Hours or Set Days Off

You can also change or restrict open hours to effectively turn off scheduling for a Location without permanently removing it.

⚠️ Impacts of Deleting a Location

When a Location is deleted, everything associated with that Location is permanently removed. Below is a complete list of what will be deleted:

  • Customers β€” If you share Customers between Locations but a Customer was originally created in the Location being deleted, any Appointments they have in other Locations will be impacted.

  • πŸ‘₯ Staff Members β€” If you are using the Staff Member sharing feature, please contact our Client Services team or submit a support ticket through your account before proceeding.

  • Appointments β€” All Appointments linked to the deleted Location will be removed. If a Customer from a remaining Location had Appointments in the deleted Location, those Appointments will also be removed.

  • Rooms

  • Services

  • Pets

  • Children

  • Time Clock Entries

⛔️ This action cannot be reversed. All Customers, Staff Members, Appointments, and other system data associated with the deleted Location will be permanently removed.


πŸ“ Location Attributes

The Location Attributes feature lets you create and assign multiple levels of organization to each account Location. This feature requires the API to surface each level of organization through a custom interface. Users can then select from each level of organization: Attributes and Values, to find the Locations that meet their criteria.
