Rescheduling lets you change an appointment's time, and also its location, service or member, in one step. Softalon only offers times that are free for the new combination.
Members with the User role can reschedule their own appointments. Administrators and above can reschedule anyone's.

Step 3 of 3
Save
Click Reschedule Appointment.
You will see:Appointment Rescheduled appears and the appointment moves on the calendar.
Reschedule with drag and drop
On the calendar, drag the appointment to a new time. In Day View grouped by member, you can also drop it in another member's column. The Reschedule Appointment form opens with the new time and member filled in. Check the details and click Reschedule Appointment. Nothing changes until you do.
What changes with the move
- The invoice. If the invoice isn't finalized or paid yet, it follows the appointment. A new member, service or location updates its price. A new time only moves the invoice date.
- The status. When you have full appointment access (Administrator and above), the status stays the same. When a member with the User role moves their appointment to a colleague, the status can reset to your default status, depending on Status After Reschedule in Settings βΊ Booking.
- Buffers are recalculated for the new member, service and location.
If something is off
Member Unavailable, Location Unavailable or Service Unavailable appears
The member, location or service you dropped on or picked can't take this appointment at that time. For example, the member doesn't offer the service at that location. Pick a different combination in the form.
The time I want isn't listed
It isn't free for that member. If you're an administrator and need it anyway, use Manual Override. Otherwise, see How available times are calculated.
Common questions
No. Minimum notice and how far ahead clients can book only apply to clients. They do apply when a client reschedules through a link.
