Configuring Blueprints for the Frontend Builder
If you want to use the Frontend Builder for creating reservations on an external website or mobile app reservation blueprints define the reservation that’s created.
Blueprints are also the “type” of appointment a customer selects on the website.
Setting up blueprints for the Frontend Builder consists of 2 parts
Configure the blueprint itself in GoMeddo
Enable which blueprints can be booked
Configure the Blueprint
Basis setup
Give your Blueprint a name, a description and an image Url (all of these will be shown on the frontend)
Fields to set
The blueprints offers the possibility to determine which fields to set on reservation.
This lets you specify what Reservation Type it needs to have, if it needs a Staff and or Resource for example.
The blueprint offers 5 methods to set fields:
Method to get value | Description | Example Usage |
|---|---|---|
Literal value | Allows you to put a literal value or id in a field | Give the same Title to every parent/child reservation |
Record by name | Allows you to set a record by name in the field | Set a reservation type |
Child of Parent Resource | Allows you to specify that the Resource in the child reservation needs to be a child of the parent reservation resource. | Allows you to specify that the Resource in the child reservation needs to be a child of the parent reservation resource. |
Available at Parent Resource | Allows you to specify staff or other dimension should be available using in the Parent Resource using a Multi-Dimensional Availabilities | Only staff members available in Amsterdam should be considered. |
Copy from parent reservation | Allows you to copy the value from the parent reservation (not applicable for the frontend builder) | Add all reservations to the same resource |
Filter rule
On both “Child of Parent Resource as Available at Parent Resource you can apply dimension filters. This allows you to narrow down which dimension records need to be considered. For example you can say, Resource needs a resource of type “intake room” which is available in the parent resource. Or you could say, Only Staff members of type “Nurse” should be considered in the reservation. Narrowing down the possibilities will improve performance, so be as specific as possible.
Example to for a setup:
Go to Reservation Blueprints
Create a new blueprint called Appointment to create the parent
Give it a duration of 60 minutes and a Name and save
