Setup the Appointments Scheduler

Quick Start: Scheduler

The taxPRO Appointments Scheduler allows you to setup appointments for your customers. You may schedule for yourself, or a complete team. You may also schedule for different types of tasks like preparation, review and more.

This tutorial will mainly focus on the quick setup of a single employee.

Basics

Once you have logged in, hold your mouse over “Appointment”. This allows you to move quickly to your Calendar, Appointments or Customers sections.

Click on “Dashboard” to get an overview of your services, employees, appointments and even payments.

For now, we will focus on Appointments, Services and Customers.

First, lets take a look at the “Calendar” tab.

(Notice:) The Scheduler is known as Amelia. Not only can you have multiple appointments scheduled based on differing criteria, you can add multiple staff members and multiple locations.

Finally, you can take deposits for appts to prevent no-shows. Send us a quick note using the support link on your taxPRO dashboard.
