Reassigning keeps the time, service and location and only changes who does the appointment. It's handy when someone calls in sick.

Members with the User role can reassign their own appointments to a colleague. Administrators and above can reassign anyone's.

  1. 1

    Step 1 of 3

    Open the Reassign form

    On the Appointments page, open the appointment's menu and choose Reassign. On the calendar, right-click the appointment and choose Reassign, or click it and then click Reassign.

    You will see:

    The Reassign Appointment form opens with two tabs: Automatic and Manual.

  2. 2

    Step 2 of 3

    Choose how to pick the member

    • Manual: pick the Member yourself. Only members who offer the service at that location and are free at that time are listed.
    • Automatic: choose a selection logic and let Softalon pick from the members who are free. Round Robin is selected when the form opens.

    Step 3 of 3

    Save

    Click Reassign Appointment.

    You will see:

    Appointment Reassigned appears and the appointment shows under the new member.

Automatic selection logic

LogicWho gets the appointment
First AvailableThe first free member, in your team's booking order.
RandomA free member picked at random.
Round RobinThe next member in turn after whoever got the most recent appointment in the last 30 days.
Least BusyThe member with the lowest share of booked time against their working hours over the last 7 days.
Cheapest ServiceThe member with the lowest price for this service.
Most Expensive ServiceThe member with the highest price for this service.

The current member is one of the candidates, so the automatic pick can keep the appointment where it is. Use Manual if you need a specific person.

For more on these rules, see Choose how Anyone bookings are assigned.

What changes with the move

  • The invoice. If it isn't finalized or paid, its price updates to the new member's price for the service.
  • The status. With full appointment access (Administrator and above), it stays the same. When a member with the User role hands an appointment to a colleague, the status can reset to your default status, depending on Status After Reschedule in Settings β€Ί Booking.

If something is off

No members are available for this time

Nobody else who offers this service at this location is free at that time. Try rescheduling to a different time, or, if you're an administrator, turn on Manual Override in the form.

The member I want isn't in the list

They don't offer this service at this location, or they're busy, off or outside their working hours then. Check their services and working hours.

Common questions

No. The start time stays the same. To change the time too, use Reschedule.
