Simply Schedule Appointments Updates Released in February

Let’s go over all the highlights for February — Just make sure to update to the latest version from your website so that you can also receive all these new goodies!

New Booking Flow Time Views

This month, we released new Views for the Booking Flow feature: Rows and Block.

Rows View

The Row View allows you to display the time slots in neat rows organized by the Time of Day sections (Night, Afternoon, Evening, Morning). This is an excellent View for booking calendars that are placed in long vertical sections on a web page.

Block View

The Block View allows you to display the time slots in left-to-right order taking up as much space horizontally before starting a new line. This is a good option for booking calendars that want to keep it simple. Removing the Time of Day sections helps some schedules avoid ending up with sparse columns due to limited time slots.

Elementor Widget Updates Part 1

The Schedule an Appointment Elementor booking widget received a first round of updates this month, introducing new features in the Content tab, including:

• Upgraded Appointment Type selection, including the ability to select a subset of calendars and the option to choose using Labels.
• Added Appointment Type View options: Choose how to display the list of Appointment Types
• Added Booking Flow options: Choose and override the Booking Flow settings for the Appointment Types

The Upcoming Appointments widget received a few updates as well. Now including the ability to select whether you’d like to display Appointment Type Titles and hide the Team Member information on your upcoming appointments listing for customers.

Plus, more improvements are on the way for the Elementor widgets. Stay tuned!

“Best support for a plugin we’ve ever had. I highly recommend this plugin for a free booking solution that works well on all devices and is easy to set up. I tried at least 3 other plugins and never will change to anything else! Good job, SSA team!.”
