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.

Pins can now be required to access the desktop app every time it is opened, or every time a browser window is opened. This new measure of security is now active once the salon has set up an auto log out time, which can be done in Manager>Settings>Point of Sale:

We’ve added a super handy new feature to make life that little bit easier — you can now email clients a list of their upcoming appointments straight from their appointment history!

Here’s how it works:

• Go to a client’s appointment history or

• Click on Future Appointments

• Click Print/Email

When you select “Email,” your client will receive a full list of their upcoming appointments including:

• Date and time (start and end)

• Services booked

• Staff member

• Branch location (perfect for salons with multiple locations)

🌍 Whether a client has appointments at one or several branches, the email will clearly show where each appointment is taking place.

No more printing required! Save paper and skip the printer – just hit email and you’re done. 🌱

🧾 One important note: We’ve left prices off the email. Since prices can change over time, this helps avoid any confusion or awkward chats down the line.

We’ve made it easier to manage different payment types during checkout:

• Switching payment types? If you’ve already selected a payment method and enter an amount, then pick a different one, we’ll ask you to confirm before making any changes. Once confirmed, we’ll clear the previous amount and move the full balance to the new payment type.

• Partial payments? If you’ve already entered part of the amount using one payment type, clicking another will automatically fill in the remaining balance for you — no manual calculation needed.

• Integrated payments too! These improvements apply to integrated payment methods as well, keeping everything seamless and consistent.
