**"Email address already exists, can't create duplicates" — what does this mean?**

This administrators email is already linked to an existing pickAtime contact. Go to **Contacts**, search the email address, and you should find the existing record.

# Admin UI

**Why is the Appointments List red?**

This indicates appointments with an unresolved problem needing attention — the tab and the appointment both display in red. See the **Problem Appointments** page for the different ways this can happen.

---

**I see orange appointments labeled "Customer is creating this appointment" — what do I need to fix?**

Nothing — this is expected behavior. Orange indicates a booking **in progress**:

- These appointments can't be manually deleted or selected for email notifications.
- If the participant goes inactive without finishing, the system automatically cancels the in-progress booking.
- The orange status disappears once the participant completes booking.

> This also helps admins booking manually — it prevents you from selecting a slot a participant is actively booking.

---

**Why does changing "Open scheduler to customers" on one event also change it on my other events?**

Your events are linked via **Propagator Mode**. To make changes apply to only the current event:

1. Go to **Events Preview / Events Settings**.
2. Under **Propagator Mode / Propagate Changes To**, change the setting from **"all events of this type"** to **"only the current event."**

# Appointments

**How do I see who has signed up for an appointment?**

**Via Reports:** Logging in takes you directly to the **Reports** area, where several reports show scheduled appointments.

**Via Admin UI:** Select your event, go to **Appointments**, and click a date/time — the participant's name will display in that slot.

---

**Can I offer Virtual appointments part of the day and In-Person for another part?**

Yes — create separate slots by type:

- **Virtual** slots for morning/early afternoon
- **In-Person** slots for evening

---

**A participant booked the wrong appointment type (In-Person vs. Virtual). How do I fix it?**

**Option 1 — Participant self-service:** They go to **My Appointments**, locate the booking, click **Edit**, and change the **Appointment Type**.

**Option 2 — Admin:**

1. Open the event and locate the resource/time slot.
2. Click the appointment, then **Edit Appointment**.
3. Change the **Appointment Type** and save.

---

**How do I change ALL booked appointments from In-Person to Virtual (or vice versa)?**

1. Open the event / **Event Management**.
2. Click **Slots / Update Slots**.
3. In the **Slot Updater**, set the time range and choose the new type from **Slot Type**.
4. Click **OK** — you'll see a confirmation showing how many appointments will be updated.
5. Click **OK** again to confirm.

# Cancelled Appointments

**Can I see a list of cancelled appointments for a specific participant?**

1. Go to **Reports / Account Reports**.
2. Select **Cancelled Appointments**.
3. Sort by resource name to find all relevant appointments.

# Contacts

**Why are contacts shown in different colors?**

<div class="overflow-x-auto w-full px-2 mb-6" id="bkmrk-color-meaning-blue-c"><table class="min-w-full border-collapse text-sm leading-[1.7] whitespace-normal"><thead class="text-left"><tr><th class="text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.6)] py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold" scope="col">Color</th><th class="text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.6)] py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold" scope="col">Meaning</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">**Blue**</td><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">Contact has never logged in / taken ownership of their account</td></tr><tr><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">**Black**</td><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">Contact has logged in</td></tr><tr><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">**Red**</td><td class="border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top">Problem account — usually a duplicate email address</td></tr></tbody></table>

# Emails

**How do I customize emails?**

Go to **Settings / Notifications** to customize the **Confirmation**, **Reminder**, and **Cancellation** email templates.

---

**How can I view emails that have been sent?**

1. Go to **Contacts** and search for the contact.
2. Select them, then click the small **Log** tab.

This shows a history of booked/cancelled appointments and emails sent.

---

**How do I turn off reminder emails?**

1. Go to **Event Management / Settings / Notification Setup**.
2. Under **Reminder Email**, uncheck **"Send Reminder Emails."**

> You can update reminder email **wording and timing** at any time — changes apply to all future reminders.

# Invoices

**How do I view my invoices?**

1. Log in and select **Reports / Account Reports**.
2. Choose **Account / Invoices and Payments** from the report pull-down.
3. Click an invoice # to view details.

---

**Can I pay by credit card?**

Yes:

1. Follow the steps above to open an invoice.
2. Click **"Click Here"** within the report.
3. Select **Pay by Credit Card**.

---

**Can you take my payment over the phone?**

No — phone payments aren't supported. Please use the credit card option above.

# Multiple Dates / Locations

**Can I have multiple dates for one event?**

Yes. Use the calendar on the left to create slots for your first date, then select a new date and repeat — no need to create a separate event per date.

---

**Can I have multiple locations for one event?**

Yes — create a **separate event** for each location on the **Event List** page.

# Passwords

**A participant can't remember her password.**

- **Self-service:** Click **Forgot Password** on the login page to receive a reset email.
- **Admin reset:** Go to **Contacts**, search for the participant, select them, and click **Reset PW**.

---

**How do I change my own password?**

Log in, click the menu icon (top-right), then select **Edit Profile / Change Password**.

# Scheduler

**How do I add a logo to my scheduling site?**

Go to **Global Setup / Business**, under **Account Level Settings / Account Logo**, and click the **Upload** icon.

---

**Do you support Spanish/French versions of the scheduling page?**

Not natively — your browser's built-in translation tool can be used instead.

---

**How do I test the scheduler?**

Go to your **Online Scheduling** link, add a student to your account, and view their teachers' schedules as a parent would.

---

**I see "there are no events available" or "the online scheduler is closed" when testing.**

The scheduler isn't currently open. Check **Settings / UI Setup / Scheduler Availability** start/end dates.

---

**The scheduler is closed, but participants can still cancel — why?**

This is expected. Once closed, participants can still log in and view (but not book) appointments. Whether they can **cancel** depends on the setting **"Customer cannot cancel their appointment closer than XX hours/days"** under **Settings / UI Setup / Appointment Cancellations**. If cancellation isn't allowed, they'll see a message to call the company instead.

---

**Our account URL shows a 404 error during testing — how do we fix this?**

This usually happens when **Category Sort** is enabled but no categories have been assigned to your events.

**Fix:**

1. Go to **Events Preview / Events Settings / Manage Categories for Events**.
2. Under **Category Sort**, uncheck **"Allow customer to select category first."**

# Snow Days / Emergency Rescheduling

**We need to cancel a day due to snow and move all appointments to a new date.**

1. Go to **Appointments** for your event.
2. Select the date from the calendar.
3. Click **Slots / Move Slots**, then select a destination date.

You'll have the option to email all affected participants about the change.

# Time Slots

**I created slots with the wrong duration.**

Slot duration **cannot be edited**. Delete the incorrect slots and recreate them with the correct duration.

> **If customers have already booked appointments on those slots:** When you delete the slots, you'll be prompted to either cancel the appointments (optionally with a rebooking email) or move them to a holding area on the **Appointments List** page for manual handling.

---

**I created slots on the wrong date.**

Use **Slots → Move Slots** on the Appointments page to move all slots (and any appointments) to the correct date. You can optionally notify affected participants by email.

---

**My slots are 20 minutes, but I need a 30-minute break mid-schedule.**

If the break doesn't align with your slot duration, create slots in two batches — before the break, then after.

---

**Why are some slots yellow?**

Yellow indicates the time has already **passed** — these slots are hidden from participants. Check the date and either delete or move them. Correctly dated slots appear **blue** and remain bookable.

# Working in the Admin UI

**The time slot boxes are too small — how do I adjust this?**

- **Manually:** Hover over a time marker line in the left column, then click and drag to resize.
- **Globally:** Go to **Settings → Vendor View Setup** and adjust **Time Slot Display Scale**.
