Create Time Slots

To create a new time slot, first make sure you have the correct event type selected in the Filters menu.

There are two ways to create a time slot:

1- In the week or day calendar view, click and drag on a specific day at a specific time. If required, choose the Service Area to apply the Time Slot to.

2 - Or click in the lower right. Choose a start date, end date, start time and end time. Click the All Day Event? checkbox if necessary (holidays, etc.)

Using this method, you can create multiple slots during this one period of time using the Slot Duration and Slot Quantity drop downs. For instance, the example below will create three separate Fiber Install slots that last an hour each from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. (9-10 a.m. / 10-11 a.m. / 11-12 p.m.)

When there is more than one tech doing Fiber Installs during this time, add more Time Slot Quantities.

Choose the associated Service Area if necessary, then click CONFIRM.

Self Scheduling

Vision offers subscriber to scheduling their own installations, with the two options a subscriber can choose to schedule their installation through the signup process in the Shopping Cart or at a later time in the Subscriber Portal. Hardware installations, Fiber drops, site surveys and more tasks can be schedule by the subscriber. If there is any task that requires a technician to go on the subscribers property its recommended that you give the option to the subscriber to schedule the tasks in case they would like to be there while the technician is on site. Self scheduling needs a workflow to run properly, this can be set up on your own however there is astep that the support team will need to activate before the public shopping cart and subscriber portal can use self subscribering for customers. If you would like to set up self scheduling for your subscribers you will need to contact our support team to get the correct settings activated. 

Shopping Cart

In the shopping cart after a subscriber has selected their service and filled out their contact information, the option to schedule events like installation, can be done through the shopping cart. The calendar will display available days and times for the subscriber to choose from that will best suit them for installations and events to get their services turned up. 

Subscriber Portal

The Portal is another place a subscriber can schedule an event. If the subscriber didn't schedule their installation through the online shopping cart, when they sign into the portal a pop up will appear to remind them that their installation is ready to be scheduled. If the subscriber clicks on SCHEDULE it will direct them to the calendar to select the date and time of the installation. Once the subscriber selects the date and time for their installation to confirm the installation with the system the subscriber will need to click SUBMIT. If a subscriber has an event that requires them to schedule it themselves this pop up will show up each time the subscriber signs into the portal. If the subscriber decides to wait to schedule the event they can click on SKIP FOR NOW this will close the pop up for the subscriber to use the portal.

The option to schedule the installation is still available if the subscriber closes the pop up. They can go through the  main menu and select  Scheduling this will show the events the subscriber needs to schedule. This will direct the subscriber to the calendar to select the time and date for their event. The portal will display a pop up when the subscriber logs in if they have an event or notification that is important to their services.
