Setting my Hours

The first step is to navigate to ‘Opening Hours’ from the Settings Overview page

Navigate to: Settings > Opening Hours

By Default you Opening Hours will be set to:
Mon-Fri – 08:00 > 17:00

Setting up your Opening Hours is simple:

Update Hours: Simply select the Opening OR Closing time and update the time from the dropdown
Close a Day: Select the ‘X’ on the right hand side of the day to close the day
Open a Day: Select the Opening AND Closing times and set your times to Open that day

Setting your opening and closed days will directly impact any future booking patterns so make sure that you set these up prior to adding children bookings

What comes next?

The next step after creating your Opening Hours would be to set up your Attendance Calendar. In that section, you will be able to create your years attendance of when you will be working and put any closure days or term times
