What can you set for the salon's extra fields?

Answer

With extra fields you ask a guest your own question when booking, for example about an allergy or a preference. You choose which treatments the question belongs to, what kind of answer you want and whether it is required.

Where to find it

Menu > Salon > Fields tab > click a field, or at the top right the button with the plus signs and then the tile Fields (/Salon)

Explanation

The Fields window has four steps: Extra field (choosing the treatments), Field type, Name and description and Settings. You save with Save on the last step. In the list on the Fields tab you see per field the columns Name, Description, Label, Type, Required, List View, Show in widget and Active; you change the ticks there directly. A field only appears for the treatments you chose in the first step.
