Schedule

Schedule 1.0 removal date

After June 25, 2025, the previous version of our Schedule page (Schedule 1.0) will no longer be accessible.

This change lets us fully focus our efforts on enhancing our new Schedule page (Schedule 2.0), which provides a more intuitive, modern and faster experience. If you haven't already, we encourage you to start using the new Schedule today to familiarize yourself with its improved capabilities.

Schedule 2.0 was designed with your feedback - offering a more streamlined and powerful way to manage your schedule. By deprecating Schedule 1.0, we can dedicate all our resources to making Schedule 2.0 even better, bringing you new features and continued performance improvements.

Contact Center view - enhanced location distance display

We've updated the Contact Center view to display location distances using the standard units for the staff member's country.

Now, users in the US will automatically see distances in miles, while users in Canada will automatically see distances in kilometers. This enhancement provides a more intuitive and relevant experience for our contact center staff.

New appointment, new client modal

When creating a new appointment from the schedule, the “New Client” button will open a modal that is now consistent with the UX from the dashboard and clients pages - including Basic, Advanced and Notes tabs to capture all client data fields (including the customer external id).

Previous:

New:

Schedule 2.0: mismatched timezones

Schedule 2.0 now consistently uses your configured timezone for all displays. This means accurate times for you, no matter where you are – even when you're traveling.

Schedule 2.0: walk-in preview

You can now preview walk-in details directly on the schedule (similar to the behavior with appointments and absences):

  • Quick Details at a Glance

    • Clicking on a walk-in event, will now open a convenient dialog box displaying key information about the walk-in

  • Seamless Navigation

    • From the preview dialog, you'll find a dedicated button that takes you directly to the dashboard with that specific walk-in entry already selected, streamlining your workflow

Reporting

Audit Logs beta

Access a detailed record of changes within your Coconut instance, that will allow you to:

  • Analyze the root cause of issues

  • Verify the source of changes to information

  • Ensure the fulfillment of compliance and accountability requirements

Each log captures:

  • Who made the change

  • When it occurred

  • What was modified

Current limitations:

  • Only changes made by Admin users are shown in the Audit Log

  • Only one day of Audit Logs can be generated in a report

More information about this feature can be found here.

Note:

This feature is currently in beta and is only available upon request and with an Advanced Analytics license. Unsure if you have an Advanced Analytics license? Contact your Customer Success team.

Hours

The following tabs have been renamed for clarity:

  • The "Office Hours" tab has been renamed to "Location Hours"

  • The "Working Hours" tab has been renamed to "Staff Hours"

Streamlined Adjustments creation

When you click "+ New" on the "Adjustments" tab, you will now see a convenient dropdown menu.

This dropdown offers two options:

  • "Location Adjustment"

  • "Staff Adjustment"

This allows you to quickly select the type of adjustment you need to make without navigating through an additional modal.

Kiosk

Highlights from this update which aim to make the self-service experience more engaging, intuitive and appealing for your clients, include:

New welcome screen

A sleek, modern aesthetic that’s more inviting for clients.

"Touch to Start" animation

Subtle animation to encourage clients to interact with the Kiosk.

Customizable open hours messaging

You can customize this text to display any important messaging. By default, this displays your location's closing time.

New options page

New UX for Kiosk options

We have improved the UX for the options page making it more user friendly and easier to join the line, check in for an appointment, or book an appointment for a future date.

QR code functionality

Scan to continue on personal device

Clients can now scan a QR code from the welcome screen or within the flow to continue on their own device. This offers greater privacy and ease of use.

Customizable QR code branding

You can customize the color and logo of the QR code in the "Branding" section within Settings.

Flexible display options

Choose to display a plain black and white QR code, or opt to have no QR code at all.

Prominent language selection

Clients can easily see and select their language for the kiosk, directly from the welcome screen.

How to access the new Kiosk (Admins)

Once the new Kiosk experience is enabled for your account (starting July 23rd, or by request for early adopters on June 25th), Admins will find a New Kiosk link in the Location dropdown.

This allows you to configure and roll out the changes gradually as needed by using either the New Kiosk link or Old Kiosk link.
