Adding staff has never been easier. Its broken down into a 3 step process - staff details, locations and services. Keep in mind that we call this a entire feature "Staff List" but you are able to add as rooms (Medical/Regular Spa, Tanning Salons, Auto/Detailing Industry) or equipment (Naturopaths) as staff members. Keep in mind all of these fields can be edited at a later time and nothing is locked in permanently.

Begin by adding an optional photo of the staff member. Keep in mind that if you are adding something else like a room or equipment, you can add a photo of that as well.

The first name and last name can be something like "Staff Member". This is a required for both fields.

Login email - Required Field. Must be unique.

Access Level - see more details below.

"Make this staff bookable" - Can be enabled/disabled depending on whether or not they are taking appointments. When staff members are not bookable, they can't be associated with services or locations, which means they can't receive any appointments at all.

Registration Number - Will be added onto invoices for insurance purposes. For example RMT Registration numbers.
