Overview
Boulevard offers several ways to reschedule an appointment, depending on what is being changed and how far away the appointment is being moved. Appointments can be rescheduled by the client using the client-facing Appointment Details page or internally through the dashboard.
Anytime an appointment is rescheduled, the change is recorded in the "Appointment Updates" section of the Appointment Details including who rescheduled the appointment and when.

Rescheduling Multi-Service Appointments
When an appointment being moved contains more than one service, Boulevard prompts you to move each individual service within that appointment. Because they were originally grouped together, all services must fall on the same day after the reschedule.
Click and drag the first (earliest) service in the appointment that you wish to change
Each service appears at the top of your screen with hash marks around them that indicate the service is selected to be moved
Click on the calendar to select the desired new date
Repeat the same step(s) for the other service(s), making sure that grouped services fall on the same day
Click Done when all services are positioned correctly
Select if you want the client to receive a confirmation of the changes
Click Reschedule to finalize the change

Client-Facing Appointment Details Page
The client-facing Appointment Details page that allows clients to reschedule their own appointments. This makes it easier for clients to see what they need to do ahead of their appointment, like fill out forms.
To disable "Online Rescheduling", head to the Manage Location settings and scroll down to Location Features. Unselect the checkbox to disable rescheduling and hide the option from your clients' Appointment Details page. We've left the clients' ability to reschedule on by default so there won't be any disruption for those currently using it.
A client's ability to reschedule follows the cancellation policy you already have in place. If a client tries to make a change too close to their appointment, they are prompted to call and speak to staff, so you can assess whether to charge cancellation fees.
