New "Additional Administrators" feature has been added and now live on BookSteam. It is perfect for businesses that require a full account management by reception, front desk, employee or any other worker. Additional Administrators are separate from Staff members since they cannot be booked. There is no limit on how many Administrators you can have and they are completely free of charge.
To add an "Additional Administrator" to your account follow these steps:
1. Log in to your BookSteam account.
2. Navigate to the "Settings/Additional Admins" tab or click here.
3. Click "Add New Administrator" button.
4. Enter all the required information and click "Save". BookSteam will send an email to the new Administrator with instructions on how to create a password.
Note: All additional Administrators will have full account access.

One Staff Member Connected To Multiple Locations
by

March 31, 2015
You asked, and we listened. Another highly requested feature for BookSteam has been the ability for one staff member to be connected to multiple locations (without the need of duplication).
To enable multiple locations for one staff members, navigate to the Settings/Staff Members section and click edit "Staff profile". In the "Staff profile" (in the "Info" tab) select Locations:
In the "Working Hours" tab set working hours for each Location and click 'Save'.
When a Staff member is connected to multiple Locations, that Staff will be listed under the title "Multiple Locations".
Note: To set customized Staff working hours, make sure that in the "Location" profile under "Operational Hours" tab option "Staff Member(s) will have the same working hours as above" is unchecked (if that option is turned on, then the Staff Member will have the same working hours as set in "Location's Operational Hours" tab.)
Note: Make sure the hours don't overlap, since a Staff can't (typically) be in two Locations at the same time.

We’re excited to announce the new mobile booking interface! More search requests are now being made on mobile devices than on personal computers in the U.S. and other parts of the world, Google revealed at a San Francisco conference. Based on our latest statistics, approximately 35% (and growing) of all online appointments are made on a mobile device, so it is important for businesses to make it just as easy to book appointments on a cell phone or tablet as on a desktop computer. Over the past 6 months we have been working hard to make BookSteam
mobile booking experience more intuitive and visually appealing without sacrificing
any of the powerful features (such as multiple locations selection, multiple staff
members selection, secure online client payments, client management panel, custom question fields and more). New mobile booking interface is extremely easy to master, just load your business scheduling page onto your mobile device - that's it!
What do I need to do (or change) to see mobile interface
when I book online?
You do not need to do or change a thing! BookSteam will automatically
detect mobile device and automatically display optimized user interface.
Can I personalize the look and feel of the mobile booking page?
Yes, follow this customization help link for more details.
How do my clients benefit?
Your clients are able to make/manage bookings, update their
profile details, prepay for services, and much more, all from their mobile
devices.
We thank all of our clients for your feedback and suggestions.
Start booking with your mobile device today!
