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).

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

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.
