### Daily Goals

You can set goals for your employee sales and scheduling in this section that will be used on the [Service Provider Tracking Reports ](/reports/service-provider-tracking-reports.md).

## Assigning Services

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Click Assign Services

Click the **Assign Services** button in the top, right corner.

![Assigning Services Employees](/files/833152199423b2525a0364f3f2f839931c397ead)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select Available

Click on the **Available** tab.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select services

Check all the services this employee will perform. You can also click Select All at the top to select all available services, or click Select All next to a service group name to assign all service from a specific Service Group.

![Select services an employee performs](/files/6a7ede85544ca81992c238c7ede2f8e8a04cb4d6)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter the price

Enter the **Price** you charge for this employee to perform each service.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter duration and process time

Enter **Duration** and **Process Time** for each service. Duration is the amount of time needed to perform the service.

{% hint style="info" %}
For a service with a process time, if you want the employee to be free to perform another service during the process time, you must divide the total time between Duration and Process. Only Duration time will be booked.
{% endhint %}

**Example:** A service that takes 90 minutes total has a process time of 45 minutes. You will enter 45 minutes in Duration and 45 minutes in Process to add up to the total 90 minutes. This service will be booked on the schedule as 45 minutes to allow the employee to schedule another service during the 45 minute process time.

*(OR you can set the entire 90 minutes in Duration and leave Processing Time set to "None", so that the entire time will be blocked out on the schedule.)*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set Shows Online

**Shows Online** allows you to enable/disable specific services by service providers for your online schedule.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the Shows Online is grayed out, this is because your settings under Online Settings > Services have Show Online: No preventing that service from being shown online for any service provider.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save

Click **Save**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## How to use the Copy Tab

When assigning the same services to more than one employee, you can save time by copying some or all of the information from another employee’s record.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the Copy tab

Click on the **Copy tab** at the bottom of the page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select an employee

Using the drop-down box, select the employee you want to copy the services *from*.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose an option

Choose one of three options:

* Copy only the services which haven’t already been checked for the employee record you’re working on.
* Copy the above *plus* update the services which have already been assigned.
* Remove all existing services from this record and replace them with the services from the selected employee.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Submit

Click **Submit** *(If you’re sure you want to copy the services, select "**Yes**" in the pop-up.)*

![Submit employee services](/files/2e5622cf48dbd28fcf18f315736d736079c57931)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**Notes:**

* If you charge a different price for this employee to perform a service, you may change the **Price** field.
* If the **Duration** time is longer or shorter for this employee to perform a service, you may change it.
* Click **Save** after any changes are made.
* When all of your service providers have been assigned services, click **Done** to go back to the main employees page.

## 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/employees/adding-editing-employees.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.
