# Adding/Editing Services

## Adding new services is now even faster and easier!

Quick pick from our list of standardized services for simplicity, add customized services based off of your personal preference, or a mix of both for the utmost versatility.

## Adding a Standard Service

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Navigate to Services

Navigate to: **Manage** > **Basic Settings** > **Services**

Click the green plus button to select one of the pre-created **Quick Pick Services**.

![Quick Pick Services](/files/e9e73e92199ac17c805f89041eadb9449fbec1e0)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter service details

Enter the price and the average amount of time it takes to perform the service.

*If necessary,* enter the typical processing time for the service, product charge, and resource.

Choose whether or not the service should be taxed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Assign the service to employees

If you have already created multiple employees, you have the option of checking the box, **Assign this Service to all Employees**.

![Assign Service to all Employees](/files/65aab64bec0c79e1c26484471a402d0282cf27a9)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Adding a Custom Service

If you do not see the service you need from our list of Quick Pick Services, you have the ability to create a custom service.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Click **New Service**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select or create a service group

Select a service group from one of our Standard Service Groups or create your own by selecting **Create a Custom Service Group** at the bottom of the window.

![Create Custom Service Group](/files/bc1cf1a673bb1c8e9391fef20e2d9fe27cdf5ec3)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter service group information

Enter the group name, a category *(which will be associated with Spa/Salon)*, order *(to control how your services will be listed)*, and a online priority, if there is an order the services should be listed in when scheduled online.

*(If a group has an online priority of 1, it will be scheduled before a service with a priority of 5, no matter which service the client chooses first.)*

![Service Group information](/files/4f11542359f1b9d5dd96a08327a67ff757f931d0)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

Choose whether or not the service should be taxed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add service instructions

When a client books an appointment for a service that has service instructions, those instructions will appear on the appointment itinerary and confirmation email they receive! So you can now communicate any pre-service instructions the client needs to be aware of!
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save the service

Click **Save** to finish creating your new service.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Service Field Key

  > NOTE: This can be valued in dollars or percentage
* **“Active” Status:** Indicates the service is currently performed in your business. It will appear when scheduling appointments.
* **Resources:** Rooms, stations, or equipment dedicated to performing a service. This is a feature found in Advanced Settings; setup is optional.
* **Show Online:** Determines whether or not your clients are able to schedule this service online.
* **Service Instructions:** When a client books an appointment for a service that has service instructions, those instructions will appear on the appointment itinerary and confirmation email they receive! So you can communicate any pre-service instructions the client needs to be aware of!

## Deleting Service Groups

In order to delete a service group, simply remove all services belonging to that service group.

To remove a service from a service group:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Change the Service Group

Click on the name of the service and change the Service Group to something other than the group you would like to delete.

*(If the service has not been assigned to an employee, scheduled, nor attached to a ticket yet, you will be able to click **Delete** to completely delete it from your account if you wish.)*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save the service

After changing the Service Group on the service, click **Save**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

As soon as you go to create a new service, any empty service group(s) will be automatically deleted for you.

## Edit a Service Group

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Select a service group

Navigate to: **Manage** > **Basic Settings** > **Services**

Click on the name of a service group.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Edit group settings

You will have the ability to edit the name of the group, which category the group should belong to, and/or the order number it is in the services list.

You can also view all of the services that are currently in the particular service group.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.rosysalonsoftware.com/business-settings/adding-editing-services.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
