All users of My Goals will now see forecasting functionality within a goal. ✨
The forecasting table will allow the user to toggle between days or hours for their desired forecasting setting. The table will show how much in sales is needed to reach 100% of the set goal.
Forecasting will only show for:
  • Goals that are 6 days or longer
  • Service sales, retail sales or client visit goals
  • The forecasting table will only show after 2 days of data has been recorded
  • The forecasting feature is only applied to ā€˜Active’ goals meaning that the table will not show in 'Completed' or 'Upcoming' goals
  • Table data will be based on the remaining hours or days within the goal based on rostered hours/days

We know it can be tricky to keep track of client vouchers/gift cards during checkout—sometimes, even clients forget they have them. That’s why we’ve made it easier than ever: now, whenever you’re on the purchase screen, you’ll see a clear indication of any valid vouchers/gift cards your client has, right on the voucher payment option. Whether it’s one voucher or a few, we’ll show you the total available balance up front—no more digging or surprises.
It’s just one more way we’re helping you deliver a smoother checkout experience, making sure every voucher gets used and nothing is left behind. Happy days for you and your clients!

We’ve made it quicker and easier to add a new client when making a booking. Previously, the form showed a lot of optional fields up front—which could feel a bit overwhelming. Now, we’re keeping it simple: all you need is the client’s first name, last name, and—if your settings require it—their phone number and/or email. That’s it!

We have updated how we calculate the Daily Average in My Goals.
It has now been updated to be calculated based on rostered days.
If an employee is not rostered for a day, it will be displayed as 'Off' and that day will not be counted when calculating the daily average of that goal.

Please ensure that you have updated your app. This is available on 5.1.2 v33
We’ve added a handy new option to the calendar screen — you can now choose which staff members you want to view using a new staff filter, on the fly.
This is perfect for those times when:
• You want to focus on just one or two staff members without all the clutter of everyone else’s schedule.
• A client has a preferred stylist, but you want to keep an eye on another staff member’s availability too — just in case.
• You’re managing a large team and need to narrow things down to a smaller group to make scheduling quicker and easier.
It’s a simple way to keep your calendar clean and focused, especially when you’re juggling multiple bookings across different team members.
