Choosing scheduler templates

When your clients reach your scheduler, Scheduling generally uses one of two templates to display the times you’re available. This guide outlines the differences between these templates and explains how to switch templates. 

If all of your public appointment types are group classes, Scheduling sometimes uses an automatically assigned class template. This guide also explains how the class template works.

We've merged the Acuity Scheduling Help Center with the Squarespace Help Center. This guide applies to both versions of Scheduling.

Changing templates

To change your template:

1. Open the Customize appearance panel: Acuity Scheduling | Squarespace Scheduling. 
2. In the Template field, choose Monthly or Daily, then click Save Changes.

Monthly template

The monthly template is best for clients booking more than a week in advance. Clients see each month listed out as a calendar. Days with times available are shown in bold, and available times for the selected date appear on the right. Clients can scroll forward one month at a time to look for more openings.

Use the settings in the Customize appearance panel to customize the font, and the colors of the body background, scheduler background, scheduler text, buttons and accents.

Daily template

The daily template is best for clients who want an appointment as soon as possible.

Clients see the next five days that you're available, with available times listed beneath each day. Clients can click More times to see openings further in the future.

Use the settings in the Customize Appearance panel to customize the font, as well as button and accent color.

Tip: If you're only available on certain days, or if some days have already filled up, clients see the next five open days, which could be more than a week in the future.

Class list template

If you meet the following criteria, your scheduler will default to the class list view:

• All public appointment types are group classes
• You've selected the daily template
• Packages, gift certificates, and subscriptions aren’t listed in your scheduler

Clients see a vertical list of upcoming days with available classes. Within each day, classes are listed by time. Clients can click More times at the bottom of the list to see openings further in the future.

Use the settings in the Customize Appearance panel to customize the font, as well as the button and accent colors.

Tip: If your settings don't trigger the class list template, you can send clients a list of your classes, shown in the class template by going to the Scheduling Page Links panel and using the Direct Links & Embedding drop-down menu to select All Classes.
