The Signup Flow

1. Welcome to Scheduler! As you open your web application or mobile application, you can expect a login screen where you can enter your information and select a login email. Input your name, phone number, and email address, and then click to agree to Scheduler’s terms and conditions. Click ‘Next’ to proceed.

2. If you don't already have an account, you can make one after selecting "business" or "personal" as the initial profile type. First, choose whether you will be using Scheduler for business/commercial or for personal work use. If you select a personal account, input your personal details such as name, address, and location, however, if you wish to select a business account, enter your company details instead of your personal details. This includes your company’s name, number of employees, address lines 1 and 2, city, state/province, zip code, and finally select your country from the drop-down list. Click ‘Next’ to proceed.

3. Choose your plan! Since there is only one package available under a personal plan, you can then select this plan, and proceed to confirm your email for verification and set up a password. If you opt for a business plan, you have the option of choosing from two packages under your business account. Select your preferred plan according to what suits you the best, and then once again, proceed to the email verification confirmation and password setup. Keep in mind that the business plan has more options than the personal plan does! For any support, you can visit the Help Desk by clicking on the given link at the bottom of your screen.

4. An additional feature we offer is that you can create your own landing page with Scheduler. Choose between our pre-designed templates and customize them as you prefer. Whether you are a Personal Package or Business Package user, you are entitled to the landing page option.

The Onboarding Process

Congratulations! Your account is now ready for use! It should look something like this:

​

1. You can opt for starting the Wizard and setting up, or skip this process and directly start using Scheduler. Now that you have set up your account, you can choose to share your links to begin using Scheduler. However, if you have selected a business package, you are entitled to additional plug-and-play settings. If you choose to move forward, you will need to enter your preferences to set up your account. This includes setting your details through the drop-down lists, such as your time zone, time format (12-hour or 24-hour clock), date format (DD/MM/YYYY), and general settings such as your currency. Make sure to click ‘Save and Continue." This information will be vital when synchronizing your time with other schedules, so keep a keen eye out for it. Click "Save and Continue" to proceed.

2. Now, you can successfully import your contacts. With this, you can manually import within the app. Depending on your preference you can select ‘Download this format’ and ‘Import Contacts’. Then click ‘Save and Continue’. Importing a CSV file, either from Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, is a simple way to sync your contact list.

3. It's time to begin adding your users! Select ‘Add your First User’. You can always add more users later on too. For example, if you're putting together a work team or teaching a group of students, you must start by adding their general information, such as first name, last name, job title, and email address, and you can even upload a profile picture of them. You may also select their authority level by clicking on your preferred user type, for instance, you can select ‘Admin’ to allow another user to have control over the meeting settings as well. You can now choose to save your data and add more users or save and continue.

4. You can view all your users after adding them all, it should appear like this:

5. You can choose to view users by clicking on their profiles individually as well.

6. After you save and continue, it is now time to create your own team and organize the users you have already added, by clicking on ‘Create your Own Team’. You can add or remove users later on as well. If you are creating a team, you can add your own team title and then select your members. You can choose to have either a larger number of team leaders or a larger number of teams if you go with this option. It is possible to have ten people on 'Team 01' and two people on 'Team 02', respectively.

7. To create your first team, you must add information once again, such as a team name and a team label. You can then add your team members that you have already input by searching for them in the search bar provided. Add your preferred authority level for your users by selecting one or more team leaders. You can then ‘Save and Add Another Team’ or ‘Save and Continue’.

8. You can view your teams in ‘View Teams’ mode, which should look something like this in your mobile application, depending on how many teams you have created:

And like this on your web application:

Remember, if you have selected the business package and are making teams for personal use, they can serve as a way to distinguish between, say, friends, family, and gym class buddies.

9. Once you have finished adding your users and teams, you can choose to add your payment details, or skip this step for the time being

10. You have completed the onboarding step and are ready to start using Scheduler!

Events

1. Now that you’re ready to start, it is time to create your first event type by clicking on ‘click here’ to add a new event.

2. Scheduler’s communication types and event templates can vary from meetings, seminars, and client briefings, depending on which type of meeting you want to create.

3. You can select your event type and look at different options to configure your meeting settings. You can find that option here:

4. Next, you must decide what you would want your event type to be. According to what you have planned, you can select from Scheduler’s three types of events: One-to-One, Many-to-one, and Public Event. Once again, if you have selected Scheduler’s personal package, you are entitled to only the one-to-one event type. On the other hand, if you have selected Scheduler’s business package, you are entitled to not only the one-to-one package but also the many-to-one and public event types! But wait, there’s more. When you invite people to a meeting via the Many-to-One event type, everyone's schedules will automatically sync to create a common time slot for all attendees. How convenient! These are your three options:

(i) One to One - One host. One invitee. Let an invitee meet with you by selecting a time slot

(ii) Many to One - Many hosts. One invitee. Meet an invitee with members of your team at the same time

(iii) Public Event - Create a public event with the ability to add payments. Ideal for webinars, training, etc.

5. Once again, start adding information. Input your event name and description, then select the location of your event. You can opt for a physical or online event via Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Scheduler itself! Click ‘Next’ to proceed.

6. You must now manage your event settings, such as time/date management, which includes the duration of your event. If you opt for a team event, you can assign your team members for that meeting, however, this option is available only for Many-to-One and Public Event, event types. Then, choose how your invitees can schedule the event. You can opt for ‘x calendar days into the future’ or ‘identify into the future’.

7. Now, it’s time to select the availability for your event. You will have three options: Automatic, use an existing schedule, and create a custom schedule.

(i) The automatic schedule allows you to synchronize all the schedules of your team members into one and find a common slot for all members for the event.

(ii) When selecting an existing schedule, you must create a schedule for your event prior to creating your event. This can be done in the Availability section in your settings. You must add your schedule details such as name, and description, and schedule a time zone for your event. You can then create a schedule by adding timeslots that you are available on. A buffer time will be added for those who have many events and need time before and after an event to either plan for the event and gather ideas, or perhaps to take down notes of the event. This buffer time before and after will block out another individual trying to schedule you within that time slot. Moreover, if any of your reservations conflict with another one of your events, a section of date overriding will have to be entered manually after selecting your buffer times as a new event altogether, to revoke what has been made before in your previous schedule. To give you a better idea, if a reservation is made on a day that you are unavailable, such as a holiday, the date must be overridden to block out the entire day in this case, under the "Date Overrides" section.

(iii) Creating a custom schedule follows the same steps as the existing schedule, however, instead of selecting from an existing schedule, you will create a brand new schedule, within that setting and screen.

(iv) Your schedule should appear like this in a desktop application:

9. Lastly, you can view all your schedules if you have synced your calendars. It is possible also to integrate your schedules with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook, and view it in one calendar overview. Dates, times, and event types can be viewed by filtering your calendar on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis, the perfect setup to keep your events organized. Your calendar may look something like this on your web application:

10. You are now ready to pass on your link, share your schedule with invitees, and get booking!
