  3. Enable clients to add themselves to the online wait list: Enabling this option turns on the Walk-in Online Wait List.
  4. Do not show all clients on the wait list: When enabled, clients will only see themselves on the Walk-in Online Wait List.

  7. In the Terms and Conditions text box, enter the terms and conditions that display to the client if the Terms & Conditions link is selected from the Walk-in Online Wait List.
  8. Most popular service: The service selected here is used to calculate the estimated wait time for position 1 in the wait list. The service timings determine the wait time. For a service to appear in this drop-down, the service must be selected for Walk-ins via the Walk-in Manager Settings Services tab.

  16. Client name format for Display Monitor and Online Wait List and Time format display for Display Monitor and Online Wait List: Determine the client format and time display format, respectively.
  17. Show all clients on the wait list as temporary appointments in the appointment book: When enabled, a temporary appointment appears in purple in the Appointment Book after the client is added to the Walk-in Manager, but before the appointment is actually booked. Remember, since the appointment hasn't been accepted in the Appointment Book yet, this temporary appointment is a visual reminder that there will likely (but not definitely) be an appointment at this time.

  18. Show address fields in Kiosk and Online Wait List: Client address fields will be shown or hidden in the Kiosk and Walk-in Online Wait List based on the status of this option.
