The Business Setup tab shows the School Information you entered when you signed-up for your pickAtime account.
This setting allows you to make changes to one event propagate to the other events (of the same event type) automatically. When set to "all events of this type" this feature will copy changes to all the other events. Note, that this will only copy settings made from the UI Setup, E-mail Templates, and CUI Messages tabs, and it will only copy the value when it is changed. In other words changing this setting will not make the events identical. You still have to go and alter each setting to force it to propagate to the other events. This feature is generally not used by schools.
Here you can change the way the contact names are displayed. You can toggle between first name last name, and last name, first name. The date format can be changed from MM/dd/yy to dd/MM/yy, and your can toggle between a 12 hour clock and a 24 hour clock.
The From box is where you can optionally enter in the name of your school or business. This will then show up in the From line when your parents or customers receive an email.
School System Login/ID: This setting is used for our Single Sign On customers.
SSO Provider: If you will be providing a Single Sign on option for your parents you would want to select your SSO provider from the list.
SSO login URL: If you have selected an SSO provider from the list above enter in your school website URL here. When a parent is timed out of the pickatime system they will be directed back to this URL.
Do not allow self registration: Check this box if your parents will be entering the scheduler from your school portal with the Single Sign On option. This will prevent them from logging into the site from outside of the school portal.
Allow parents to attach and detach students: Unless you have imported parents and a parent-student relationship file this box should be checked. This allows your parents to identify their student.
Vendor URL
Appointment URL for customer: provides you with the URL for your account. Check the box "Set custom URL" and then enter in a customized URL to create your own URL.
The Appointment URL will change to reflect your selection, and the new URL will be available in approximately 5-10 minutes.
"Show customers the available slots" setting determines whether your parents can see the events and slots before they have logged in. If there is a PTA event the system will force this setting and prevent you from changing it because the system has to know what parent (customer) has logged in, in order to show the slots.
Sort events by the following order: This allows you to change the sort order if you have multiple events on your account.
"Lock out" Message: In the Contacts section of the Admin UI, you can change the default access level of Allowed to Not Allowed for any contact. The Lock Out message will be displayed to any contact where you have set this access to "Not Allowed".
Background color of the pages This setting allows you to change the background color of the pages on the CUI.
Force to fill required fields If you check this box, then administrators booking appointments on behalf of parents will be required to fill in any appointment or contact fields that you have set as required.
