Drag-to-select for fast bookings

If you take more than 5 bookings a day, this is the technique to learn. It cuts a 4-click flow down to 1 drag.

How it works

1. Move the mouse over the staff column where you want to book.
2. Click and hold at the appointment's start time.
3. Drag downward to extend to the end time.
4. Release. The booking modal pops open with the staff and time pre-filled.

A dashed-line preview box shows your selection while you drag, so you can see exactly what you're going to commit to.

Time snapping

The selection snaps to 15-minute marks: :00, :15, :30, :45. So even if your drag isn't perfectly precise, you always end up on a clean time.

The minimum drag is 15 minutes, anything shorter snaps up.

What gets pre-filled

When the modal opens after a drag:

• Staff member: whichever column you dragged on.
• Start time: where the drag began.
• End time: where the drag ended (so you don't even need to set duration if it matches your service).
• Date: the date you're currently viewing.

You only need to add the customer and service, then save.

Tips

• For repeat customers, you can drag, type their first name, hit Enter to select them from the dropdown, click a service, and save. Five seconds end-to-end.
• You can't start a drag on top of an existing appointment, click the empty space first.
• 3-day view supports drag-to-select too, just keep your drag within one day's column.
• On mobile and tablet, drag-to-select doesn't apply, use the + button or tap an empty slot.
