When you have a chain of salons, finding available times can be tricky. Global Appointments lets you book for any location from the Dome.
There's no need to log in to different locations, browse up and down from the Dome or make countless phone calls. Pick a location and make the booking as if you were standing in the salon. Each location can also book across the whole network.
Each location can opt in or out of Global Appointments. That suits both single-owner chains and franchises.

Enabling Global Appointments in the Dome
- Log in to your Dome. Switch to the Old Look first (profile icon > Switch to Old Look).
- Open Settings and go to the Sharing tab.
- Tick Allow any user to view and make appointments at any location.
- Select Save.
Client Sharing is required for Global Appointments, so this turns Client Sharing on too.
Enabling Global Appointments in Child Locations
Next, include each child location in your Global Appointments.
- Select Switch location at the bottom of the left menu and pick the location. You can also use Browse in the Quick Visit List on the Dome page.
- Switch to the Old Look (profile icon > Switch to Old Look), open Settings and go to the Sharing tab.
- Tick Include in Global Appointments.
- Select Save.
Do this in every location you want in Global Appointments. Then head back up to the Dome to see it in action.
Making Appointments For All Locations from the Dome
In your Dome, select Appointments in the left menu. The location drop-down at the top left lets you switch between each location's appointment book. You can now make appointments for any location from the Dome.
Making Appointments For All Locations from a Child Location
In a child location, select Appointments.
The location drop-down at the top left lets you switch to the other locations in Global Appointments. Pick one and book as normal.
Notes
- To leave Global Appointments, untick Include in Global Appointments in that location's Sharing settings. The location won't appear in the location drop-down. Other locations can't book into it, and it can't book into theirs.
- The same Sharing settings have a Client Sharing Enabled option. When it's on, the location's clients are shared across all locations in the Dome. When it's off, they aren't shared. If the location is in Global Appointments, Client Sharing can't be turned off.
