A schedule says when an activity runs, like weekdays at 10:00 and 14:00. TicketPa turns it into time slots, the times guests book, for the next 120 days, and adds the next day every night.
An activity booked at a free time with your staff has no schedule. Guests book any free time in your staff's hours instead. See Set up appointments.
Steps to add a schedule
- Go to Activities in the sidebar, open the activity and select the Schedule tab.
- Select Add schedule.
- Choose the Days it runs. Monday to Friday are picked to start with.
- Set the Start times. Select Add time for another one, up to 24.
- Pick the First day. Pick a Last day if it stops, or leave it empty to keep it running.
- Enter the Places in each time slot.
- Leave Create time slots from this schedule ticked.
- Select Add schedule.
The message at the top says how many time slots were added, and you see them in the Calendar.
Times are in the timezone the window names: the activity's location's, or your business's when it has no fixed location.
Use more than one schedule
Add a schedule for each pattern, like weekends at other times, or a summer season with its own First day and Last day. If two schedules want the same start time, there is still one time slot. The schedule with the earlier First day sets its places, or the one added first when both start on the same day.
Change, pause or remove a schedule
- Change: select the pencil icon, make your changes and select Save schedule. Upcoming time slots follow: new times are added, times you dropped go, and the new number of places applies.
- Pause: edit it and untick Create time slots from this schedule. It shows Paused, its upcoming empty time slots go, and no new ones are added until you tick it again.
- Remove: select the trash icon, then Remove schedule.
In all three cases, time slots with bookings stay, even when every booking was cancelled, and their places never go below the places booked. Time slots you changed by hand in the calendar stay exactly as they are.
Note: Changing or removing a schedule never cancels bookings. To call off a booked time slot, cancel it from its guest list. See Cancel a time slot.
