How do I change the appearance of my SalonIQ?

This article will run through how to change the appearance of SalonIQ

This is great to do when you have a lot of team members active at once. Go to

Main menu > Global Settings > Appearance 

You can change the appearance and colours of SalonIQ by going to

Menu > Settings > Global Settings > Appearance

Please note if you are a multisite, this will apply to all salons

Appointment Book Background - We have a light and dark theme for you to choose from

Colour Whole Appointment - You can choose to have your whole appointment colours or just the left hand side as seen in the 2 examples below.

                                                                            

If you have 2 way SMS you will need to have your colour whole appointment switched off. When a client replies to a SMS the appointment colour will turn red, making it noticeable so you can review the SMS.

                                                                                 

To change your default book out times for Holidays, Sick etc. click on the colour box and choose a new colour. Once you have done this remember to click the save button in the top left hand corner.

Rebooking Screens   - When rebooking a client if these options are active they will show up on the rebooking page like below as shortcuts.                         


Settings 

Click on the 3 dots which can be found on the top right hand corner of the appointment book.

Here you will find a multitude of settings that relate to the appearance of the appointment book. 

Show all team members - when this toggle is on (green) you will view all team members columns even those that are scheduled as a day off, sick or on holiday.

Fit to screen horizontally - when this toggle is on (green) you will be able to view all team members at once and will fit on one screen. When this toggle is off (red) you will have the option to scroll from left to right. 

This is great to do when you have a lot of team members active at once. It will enable you to view clients in your appointment book better than having fit to screen horizontally switched on (green).

Fit to screen vertically - having this toggle on (green) will allow you to see the Strat and end time of the salon open times and team member columns. Having this toggle off (red) will action a scroll bar at the side of your screen and you will not see the whole day all at once, you will need to scroll up/down instead. 

Show rooms - If you have Rooms setup you will be able to view the rooms in the appointment book. These will be displayed the same way as the team member columns do. 

Show 0 duration - If you have services with 0 duration you can show these in your appointment book, or you can hide them. When the toggle is off (red), you will not be able to see the 0 duration services, when the toggle is on (green), you will be able to see the 0 duration services, these are visible with a red line and a circle. See below.

Show appointment preview - When switched on this will allow you to see a preview whilst hovering over the appointment.
