• Description. Add information about the employee: professional experience, education, services that the employee provides. The description is displayed in the online booking widget when you click the i button next to the employee's photo.

• Upload a photo of an employee, to do this, click the Upload photo button. Recommended image size: 365 x 365 px, maximum file size: 12 mb. It is recommended to post high-quality photos, they help to win over the client.
• Priority. This option is used to change the order of employees in the list, in the schedule and online booking widget. The larger the number, the higher the employee will be in the list. For example, if you set 1, 2 and 3 priorities for three employees, the employee with 3 priority will be the first in the list. 
• Check the Available for online booking box so customers can make an appointment online. Without this check, clients will not be able to book online by themselves, but it will be possible to create booking manually in the Appointment calendar.
