What is a space

A short explanation of AppointmentGuru spaces. What they are, when to use them, when not to use them, and the difference between spaces and locations.

What is a space

A Space

A Space typically maps to a business or practice. A Space has your billing information (name, practice number (if relevant), logo, etc.). A good rule of thumb is that if you want a different name, logo and banking details on your invoices, you likely want a new Space. An example would be if you have a Biokinetics practice and a Pilates practice, and you want to bill separately for each.

  • A Space has its own appointment types, locations, branding and invoice details. Locations, appointment types, branding, etc, are not shared between Spaces.
  • A practitioner on your account can be a member of multiple Spaces at no extra cost.
  • A practitioner who is a member of Space A, but not of Space B, will not have access to the contacts and appointments in Space B.
  • do create a Space if: You need a business or practice on your AppointmentGuru account that has different business details from your existing Space
  • do not create a Space if: Your same business/practice operates from multiple locations, the branding and billing is the same for both. In this case, it is better to add a location to your existing Space.

The difference between a Space and a Location

  • A single Space can have one or more Locations, each with their own operating hours and appointment types. Multiple Locations within a single Space will share the same branding (name and logo) and billing/bank details.
  • Multiple Spaces can have multiple Locations. Each Space will have their own branding and billing details.

How to set up multiple Spaces

  1. In your AppointmentGuru account, go to the Settings on the left > Spaces, click on + New Space on the right.
  2. Give your new Space a name and it'll load, allowing you to do more config such as adding bank details, invoice notes, appointment types etc. ​1. Once you're finished and you create a new appointment, you'll be able to select which Space the appointment should be for.
  3. If you have existing appointments that you'd like to shift to the new Space, you can do so by clicking on them > Open Appointment > Change next to Appointment type.
