Creating a new field

Add a field when you need a new question clients can answer during booking. After you save it, attach the field to the services or add-ons that should show it.

Before you start

  • Know the question clients should answer and which field type fits it.
  • Pick an internal Name that is unique. Use letters, digits, and underscores only.

Create the field

  1. Open Appointments → Catalog → Fields.
  2. Click Add New.

The New field form opens with a Details card.

New field form with Name, Label, Type, and Description

  1. Enter a unique Name. This is the internal ID - letters, digits, and underscore only.
  2. Enter the Label clients see on the booking form.
  3. Open Type and pick the field type.

  1. Optionally write a Description to explain the question under the label.
  2. Turn Required on if clients must answer before they can finish booking, or leave it off if the answer is optional.

Required switch on the new field form

  1. If the type is Select, add at least one option under Options. See Field types.
  2. If the type is File, set File settings (max size and accepted types). See Field types.
  3. Click Save.

Hacado opens the saved field so you can keep editing if needed.

Good to know

  • New fields default to One line until you change Type.
  • You can also start from an existing field: open the row menu and choose Clone, then edit and save.
  • A field is not shown on a booking until you add it on a service or add-on.
