Available actions depend on booking status, permissions, readiness and current availability.

How to use it

  1. Open a booking from your dashboard or calendar. Check its status, assigned team member, time, and client details.
  2. Review the appointment's intake, waiver, deposit, and balance information. Follow any missing-item links before starting service.
  3. Use the appointment's available actions to confirm, change, or cancel it. Read the confirmation and any policy information before saving.
  4. After service, check the agreed total and recorded payments, then complete the appointment. Record cash or other outside payments only after receiving them.

What to know first

  • Available actions depend on appointment status, timing, team permissions, and your booking rules.
  • An available slot can change before a booking is confirmed. Dino checks scheduling conflicts when changes are saved.

How it connects

The appointment connects the client's history, payment balance, communication, and calendar. Update the underlying appointment when details change so those views stay consistent.

A useful habit

Use the next-client area for a quick readiness check, then open the full appointment when you need more context.
