There are four simple set up steps that take you from an empty workspace to booking your first appointment - the fastest way to see splose in action. You can see these set up steps as a checklist in your trial account, making it easy to track your progress.
👉 If you're a practitioner who's been invited to an account, start here instead.
Before you get started
Sample data - Your splose trial account contains sample data to illustrate how splose works and guide you through your experience. This includes appointments, support activities and busy time booked in the first two weeks of your calendar, as well as sample progress notes, letters, clinical notes and invoices.
Your trial set up steps
Work through these in order, each one builds on the last. You'll find these same steps in your in-app onboarding checklist.
1. Set up your services
Services are the foundation of your workspace. Everything else - locations, your calendar, online bookings - references the services you create here, so this comes first.
Follow the Set up services guide.
2. Add locations and link your services
Locations tell splose where your business is based, be it a clinic, multiple clinics or a home address. When your locations are set up, it is critical to link them to the services you've created. Services will not appear in your calendar until they're connected to both a location and to your practitioner profile.
Follow the Set up your locations guide.
3. Set up your profile and availability
Your availability tells splose when you're free to see clients. Without it, nothing can be booked. Setting this up makes you bookable in the calendar so you can test a real appointment in the next step.
Follow the Set your availability guide.
4. Book an appointment and test your calendar
This is where it all comes together. Add a test client, book an appointment with them in your calendar, and see how a booking works end to end. The calendar is the central hub of splose, so this is the best way to confirm everything you've set up is working.
Add a client > book an appointment and watch it land in your calendar.

If something isn't working
Why aren't my locations, services or practitioners showing on the calendar?
Why aren't my locations, services or practitioners showing on the calendar?
If a service isn't showing in your calendar, it's almost always the link between services, locations and practitioner profile. Make sure all three are is connected first.
