Overview

A prebooked appointment is defined as a future appointment that is scheduled during the same calendar day of a client's service. Boulevard updates the prebook % stat in 15-minute increments or less. Please note that if a client prebooks an appointment and then cancels it the appointment still counts towards the prebook % stat.

Prebooking a Future Appointment

Prebook calculates the number of completed appointments where clients booked their next appointment on the same day.

For example, if you had 10 appointments today and 5 clients booked their next appointment on the spot, your prebook count is 5, even if they scheduled a total of 7 future appointments.

The Prebooking percentage is calculated as Prebooked Appointments divided by Total Completed Appointments within the selected date range.

A client is considered prebooked if they have a future appointment, which has not been canceled, and it was scheduled on or before the end of the day of their completed appointment.

Ex. If a client visits on 10/22 and does not book their next appointment same day, but already has an existing appointment on 11/22 they will still be considered prebooked.
