Booking pages: Public content

The Public content section is where you enter information to help Customers understand what your Booking page is for. You can enter basic information about yourself or your staff member, your meeting type, location, and write a welcome message to the Customers who schedule time with you. You can also add tags that enable your Customers to filter Booking pages grouped in a Master page.

The Public content you add is used when your page is in Enabled status as well as in Disabled status. When you disable your page, you can keep the Public content section as is or change it to display a different message.

Location of the Public content section

To access this section, go to Booking pages in the bar on the left. Select the relevant Booking page **→ Public content** section (Figure 1).

Public content features

Add a Booking page image

You can add your photo or any other image. For best results, upload an image in JPG, PNG or GIF format (max 200KB). It will be cropped or scaled to a 200 x 200 pixels rectangle as part of the upload process. If you check the checkbox marked Include image in default Customer notification emails, the image will be included in all relevant Customer notifications such as email confirmations (Figure 2).

Add Titles

You can enter subheadings to the name of your page.

Add a Welcome message

Tags sub-section

In this sub-section, you add tags to your Booking page by entering keywords separated by a comma (Figure 4). The maximum character limit per tag is 25. Tags can be very useful when you group Booking pages under a Master page.

Figure 6: Using tags

This enables you to add a new filtering dimension to your Booking page. For example:

When OnceHub is used for scheduling meetings in conferences, trade shows and other events, attendees can filter the host list by host properties.
When OnceHub is used for room and resource scheduling, Customers can filter the room list by room properties.
When you’re offering multiple providers for a service, you can use tags as another level of organization to allow Customers to find providers with the skill(s) they need, such as language fluency.

When you add a tag to a Booking page, the box for the tag is checked by default. The added tag is also made available in all Booking pages in your account. When you edit the Public content section of a different Booking page, you’ll be able to see that added tag and check it.
