The Appointment Book in Kitomba 1 has had a makeover! With a fresh new look, new service-based colours, icons, a rebooking prompt and better mobile optimisation for using on the go, it’s easier than ever to keep on top of your appointments.
This update is available to Platinum and Diamond customers.
What’s new?
Service-based colours
Appointments are organised by status colour by default, but you can choose to switch to service-based colours instead.
This enables your team to identify services at a glance and gives you the freedom to personalise your appointment book. For example, Haircut & Style (blue), Colour (pink) and Waxing (green). The choice is yours!
To change your colour settings, visit the Business details page under Settings in Kitomba. View our support guide on how to set service-based colours.
Requested staff icon
Know who your clients want to see at a glance with the new requested staff member icon. When selected, this confirms the staff member has been requested by a client, ensuring you honour their request and loyalty.
Manually select the requested checkbox against services so your team can see the staff member a client has requested to see.
The alert icon
Any existing and custom-made client attribute alerts created in Kitomba are now visible and editable in the Appointment Book in Kitomba 1 under the caution icon. This allows your team to easily see if there are any warnings and check important information regarding a client such as “allergic to tea tree” or “has lots of hair, allow more time for processing”.
Do you have more than one business location? You can now view and edit attributes, such as the caution icon, in the Kitomba 1 Appointment Book for clients who visit more than one of your locations.
Rebooking prompt
Lock in future revenue and increase your rebooking rate by activating a rebooking reminder for your team after a sale. With useful information about the client displayed, such as any future bookings and their average visit rate, you can ensure your team doesn’t miss an opportunity to secure future business and keep your clients coming back.
Appointment icons key
Unsure what the icons in your Appointment Book mean? No problem! The appointment key at the top right-hand side of the Appointment Book acts as a quick reminder. Icons include appointment status, message reminders, rooms and equipment, and other important appointment-related information.
Two viewing modes
The Appointment Book offers two viewing modes to suit your business size and preference.
- Fixed - Sets a minimum width for appointments so that you can always see relevant details and icons and scroll horizontally to see additional staff columns. If you want appointment details to be visible, this is the best option.
- Compact - Compact view will compact the width of appointments to prioritise displaying more staff columns. Note: You will see a limited number of icons with this setting.
