Default value: 5 minutes.
If you activate this option, Time slot length option will override. As a result slot length will be equal to the duration of the service. For instance, if the duration of the service is 1 hour, when customers make a booking, they will see time at 1 hour interval: 10:00am, 11:00am, 12:00pm, 13:00pm, etc.
Default value: Disabled.
With this option you can appropriate that your customers can make a booking at least a few days in advance. For instance, you want your customers to book before minimum 1 day. In this case you will select 1 day in this option. If this option is not needed, just disable it.
Default value: Disabled.
With this option you can choose how long your customers can book later. For instance, typing in 90 days, you’ll be able to make sure that your customers can’t add booking after 90 days.

OnlineBookMe.com booking form allows you to reorder or hide steps easily according to your business. OnlineBookMe.com panel is designed to be useful for any type of business. In some cases, you would like not to use some of the features we offer you.
For example, you only have one staff member and you find the ability to choose staff in your booking panel unnecessary. So you can turn off the staff selection feature in order to provide customers less steps.
The same can be used when there is only one location. By deactivating the location feature, you will avoid wasting unnecessary time and you will have a more aesthetic booking panel.
To do that, go to Settings > Front-end panels > Booking Steps to make your changes.
You can not only close and open the steps in the OnlineBookMe.com panel, but also sort them in the order you want. Through this ordering, you can set which step will come first and which step will come next.
For this, you can create the order you want by catching the move icon and pulling it up or down.
