1. Service Categories
You can hide the service categories as follows:
The ‘Service Categories’ feature gives admins more control over how services are displayed and selected in the booking form. This powerful addition enables you to select and display specific categories while providing the option to hide the categories field from the front end.
Admins can easily add preferred service categories in the Calendar Field Settings using a multi-select option. For convenience, there’s an “All Categories” option to include every category at once.
This feature allows for a more customized appointment booking experience, as users can select from available categories, and the following fields will display only options related to the chosen category.
2. Lead Time for Custom Slot

The ‘Lead Time’ feature allows admins to specify the lead time for appointments, ensuring accurate scheduling and preparation. This feature displays only the slots that are available after the specified lead time, preventing last-minute bookings that may be difficult to accommodate.
For example, if a user wants to book a 4 PM appointment on Friday, and the admin has set a lead time of 60 minutes, but the current time is 3:55 PM on Friday, the user will not be able to book the 4 PM slot. Instead, the earliest available appointment will be from 5 PM onwards.
This feature helps manage expectations and ensures proper preparation time for each appointment, leading to a smoother operation and better service delivery.
3. Custom Slots Multiple Booking

The ‘Custom Slots Multiple Booking’ feature allows admins to enable users to book several time slots at once. This flexible feature improves efficiency for users needing multiple appointments and streamlines the scheduling process for complex scheduling requirements.
When enabled, users can select multiple slots in a single booking session. They also have the option to remove any selected slots if needed, providing a user-friendly experience for managing multiple bookings.
This feature is particularly useful for businesses that offer services requiring multiple time slots or for clients who need to book a series of appointments in one go.
Final Words
Gravity Forms Booking v2.5 brings three powerful enhancements for your appointment booking. ‘Service Categories’ allow for more targeted service selection and display. Similarly, ‘Lead Time for Custom Slots’ ensures proper preparation time between bookings. Moreover, ‘Custom Slots Multiple Booking’ enables efficient scheduling of multiple appointments at once.
These features work together to streamline your online appointment booking process and give you greater control over your scheduling.
