WHAT IS SERVICE LISTS


In Insightful Sums, Service List refers to all of the services and treatments that you provide in your salon. 



GETTING STARTED


To get to your SERVICE LIST, click on Services > Service List


Just like creating your SERVICE PRODUCTS, you need to create your SERVICE CATEGORIES first. This is to make searching for your Services easier and keeps everything neat and tidy.


Firstly, click on the CREATE/EDIT CATEGORY button

***Please note: 

  • Timing is listed as hh:mm. This means that when you are adding an appointment that takes 2 hours and 45mins, it would look like 02:45. 
  • When recording timings, DO NOT count processing time or time that the customer is not being directly attended to by yourself or your team. 

ADDING SERVICE PRODUCTS


You will now see a new section become available.....
