Treatment rooms and spaces
Treatment rooms and spaces are bookable resources in Salonnare. Once configured, the calendar automatically accounts for their availability -- preventing two appointments from being scheduled in the same room at the same time.
You can create three types of resources: treatment rooms, workstations, and equipment.
Adding a resource
- Go to Settings.
- Open the Treatment rooms and resources section.
- Fill in the form at the bottom:
- Name -- A recognisable name such as "Room 1" or "Laser device".
- Type -- Choose from the three options (see below).
- Capacity -- How many people or appointments can use it at the same time. Default is 1.
- Location -- Optional if you have multiple locations.
- Click Add.
The resource appears in the list immediately.
Resource types
| Type | When to use |
|---|---|
| Treatment room | A dedicated room for treatments (massage room, beauty room, treatment suite). |
| Workstation | A chair, barber chair, or fixed spot for a staff member in an open-plan space. |
| Equipment | Shared equipment that can only be used by one treatment at a time (laser device, tanning bed). |
Editing a resource
Click the pencil icon next to the resource. You can change the name, type, capacity, and location. Save the change with the checkmark.
Deleting a resource
Click the bin icon next to the resource. The resource is removed immediately.
Setting availability windows
By default a resource inherits the salon opening hours. If you want a resource available at different times -- for example a treatment room that is only in use on Mondays and Wednesdays -- you can set separate availability windows.
- Click the clock icon next to the resource.
- Click Window to add a new time slot.
- Choose the day of the week and the start and end time.
- Add as many windows as needed.
- Click Save.
If no windows are set, the salon opening hours apply. Once you save windows, only those times apply to the resource.
Capacity
Capacity defines how many appointments can use the resource simultaneously. At 1 (default), the resource is occupied as soon as one appointment is scheduled. A value of 2 or higher is useful for large spaces or equipment that can be used by several staff members at the same time.
Locations
If you have multiple locations, you can link each resource to a specific location. This is optional -- resources without a location link are available across all locations.
See Locations for more on working with multiple branches.
