Staff

Keep the people visitors can book with in one list: name, role, photo, bio, weekly working hours, qualified services, whether they accept bookings, and ordering.

Use it when

Visitors can choose a groomer, cleaner, practitioner or another person for an appointment. Staff stays ordinary editable site data, not a second calendar database.

How to add a staff member

  1. Open Staff, or the name you gave it.
  2. Press New item. If you renamed the table, the button may say something else.
  3. Under Name, type their name.
  4. Fill in their Role. Add a Photo, Bio and Instagram or social link if you want.
  5. Press Create item.

You see Item created, and the person is in your list. To let visitors book them, follow the steps below.

How to make a person available for bookings

Before you start, choose the services table when adding Staff. Making the table does not publish it or connect it to a schedule.

  1. Add a person to Staff and set Hours to their weekly working hours. Without hours, they are unavailable.
  2. Link the services they can provide under Services and turn on Accepts bookings. An empty services list qualifies them for none.
  3. Set Order to choose who Anyone available assigns first.
  4. In the schedule settings, choose the Staff list under Who takes appointments, then save and publish separately. Visitors can choose a qualified person or Anyone available.

Example

A salon links Alex to Haircut and Colour, and Blair only to Haircut. Both work Tuesday nine to five. A visitor choosing Colour sees Alex; a visitor choosing Haircut can choose either person or Anyone available. A held haircut with Alex does not block Blair.

Limits

Staff availability is intersected with the effective opening window (Own open hours when enabled, otherwise business hours); it does not connect an external calendar. Appointment Staff is the server-assigned stable row key, scoped by the schedule's staff binding. Service qualifications use typed Data row references, including their feature and table, not labels or unqualified IDs.
