How to Add and Customize a Scheduler Block

How to Add and Customize a Scheduler Block on Your PhotoBiz Website

Overview

The Scheduler Block allows you to display your Scheduler services directly on your PhotoBiz website so clients can explore your offerings, view pricing, and book appointments online. You can display all your Scheduler categories, services from a specific category, services with matching tags, or a custom selection of services. You can also feature an individual service using a Single Item layout.

This guide explains how to add a Scheduler Block, choose which services appear, customize its layout and appearance, and manage or delete the block without affecting the services saved in your Scheduler Dashboard.

Prerequisites

Before adding a Scheduler Block, you'll need at least one service created in your PhotoBiz Scheduler Dashboard.

If you want to organize services by category or tag, you can configure those settings before adding your block.

For help getting started, see the PhotoBiz Scheduler Quickstart Guide.

STEP ONE

This opens the Website Builder, where you can manage your website pages, blocks, and design.

STEP TWO

Click the page where you want to display your Scheduler services.

You can also click NEW PAGE to create a dedicated booking page.

Consider adding your Scheduler Block to a Services, Pricing, Sessions, or Book Now page so visitors can easily find your appointment options.

STEP THREE

Locate the SCHEDULER Block in the available blocks menu on the right side of the Website Builder.

Click the SCHEDULER Block to open the available design options.

STEP FOUR

The SELECT SCHEDULER BLOCK panel opens, displaying four available designs. You can start with a blank block or choose a predesigned layout.

The available options are Blank, Scheduler 1, Scheduler 2, and Scheduler 3.

Blank starts with an empty Scheduler Block using your website's global design settings. Scheduler 1 uses an image grid with service information beneath the images. Scheduler 2 features alternating images and service information in a multi-column arrangement. Scheduler 3 displays services in a grid with images, titles, and descriptions.

To add your Scheduler Block, click SELECT beneath your preferred design to place it at the bottom of your website page. You can also drag your preferred design onto the page and position it where you want the block to appear.

You can customize the layout, colors, fonts, background, and other design settings after adding the block.

STEP FIVE

After adding your Scheduler Block, the EDIT SCHEDULER panel opens on the right side of the Website Builder.

What appears on your page depends on the design you selected.

If you chose Blank, your page displays an empty Scheduler Block with the message Click To Add Scheduler Services.

If you chose Scheduler 1, Scheduler 2, or Scheduler 3, the block displays a preview of your existing Scheduler services using the selected design, if services have already been configured.

Under SELECT SCHEDULER SERVICES, choose which services you want to display.

You can display all Scheduler service categories, one category, services with a selected tag, or a custom selection of services.

If you're using a Single Item layout, select the Scheduler category and the individual service you want to feature.

You can also click MANAGE SCHEDULER SERVICES to create or update services in your Scheduler Dashboard.

FINAL STEP

Once you've selected the services you want to display, click SAVE CHANGES.

Your Scheduler Block will display the services matching your selections.

Close the right-side editing panel and click VIEW SITE at the top of the Website Builder to review how your services appear to visitors.

Your changes take effect when saved. You do not need to publish your website separately.

Choosing Which Scheduler Services to Display

The SELECT SCHEDULER SERVICES settings control which services appear in your Scheduler Block. You can display all your services, feature a specific category, filter services using tags, or manually select individual services.

This allows you to customize which services visitors see on different website pages without creating duplicate services in your Scheduler Dashboard.

Available Scheduler Service Display Options

Display ALL of your scheduler service categories: Displays services from all your Scheduler categories. This is useful when you want visitors to browse your complete selection of available appointments.
Display a single scheduler service category: Displays services from one specific category. Select this option and use the dropdown menu to choose the category you want to feature. For example, you could display only your Portrait Sessions on a dedicated portrait photography page.
Display all scheduler services tagged with: Displays services associated with the Scheduler tags you specify. When you select this option, a tag entry field and ADD TAG button appear. Enter the tag you want to use and click ADD TAG. This is helpful when you want to feature a group of services, such as Mini Sessions or Holiday Sessions, without displaying every service in your Scheduler Dashboard.
Custom scheduler services: Allows you to manually choose which services appear in your block, regardless of their categories. This is useful when you want to feature a specific selection of appointments from different categories on the same page.

After choosing your display option and configuring any additional selections, click SAVE CHANGES to update your Scheduler Block.

Displaying a Single Scheduler Service

If you want to feature one specific service instead of a collection of appointments, you can use a Single Item layout.

Single Item layouts allow you to select one Scheduler category and one individual service using two dropdown menus.

This is especially useful for highlighting a featured session, special promotion, or individual booking option on a dedicated website page.

For complete instructions on changing layouts, see How to Change the Layout of Your Scheduler Block.

Using Scheduler Tags to Organize Services

Scheduler Tags provide a flexible way to organize appointments and control which services appear in your Scheduler Blocks.

For example, you could assign a Mini Sessions tag to several services and configure a Scheduler Block to display services associated with that tag. This lets you create a dedicated Mini Sessions page without moving or duplicating the services in your Scheduler Dashboard.

You can also use Scheduler Tags to help visitors find relevant services through your website's search feature.

For complete instructions on creating, assigning, and managing tags, see How to Add Tags to Scheduler Services in PhotoBiz.

Managing Your Scheduler Services

The Scheduler Block controls which services appear on your website, but the services themselves are managed separately in your Scheduler Dashboard.

To create or update a service, click MANAGE SCHEDULER SERVICES in the Scheduler Block editor.

From your Scheduler Dashboard, you can manage service details such as names, descriptions, images, pricing, appointment duration, and availability.

Changes to your Scheduler services do not require you to recreate the Scheduler Block.

Helpful Note: You can use multiple Scheduler Blocks on the same website page, with each block displaying different categories, tags, or selections of services. This makes it easy to organize your booking options into separate sections.

Configuring Your Scheduler Block's Last Item Link

The LAST ITEM settings control what appears after the final visible service in your Scheduler Block. You can allow visitors to load additional services on the same page, direct them to another destination, or display your services without an additional link.

This feature is especially useful when you want to show a smaller selection of appointments initially while giving visitors a way to explore more.

To access these settings, open your Scheduler Block and click LAST ITEM in the right-side editing menu.

Available Last Item Link Options

Under DISPLAY LAST ITEM LINK, you can choose from three options:

None: Does not display a link on the last item in your grid. Visitors see only the services allowed by your current layout settings.
Yes, as a "load more link": Allows visitors to load another set of Scheduler services without leaving the current page.
Yes, as a "standard link": Allows visitors to follow a link to another destination, such as a website page, contact form, or specific Scheduler service.

Customizing the Load More Link

Select Yes, as a "load more link" when you want visitors to browse additional Scheduler services on the same page.

When you select this option, additional settings appear:

LINK TEXT: Enter the text visitors will see, such as "Load More," "View More Sessions," or "See More Services."
LINK STYLE: Select how the link appears in your Scheduler Block. Available styles depend on your selected layout and may include Button, Text Only, or Last Grid Item.

Click SAVE CHANGES to apply your settings.

When a visitor clicks the Load More link, another set of available Scheduler services appears without navigating away from the page.

Important: A Load More link only appears when additional services are available beyond those currently displayed. If all available services are already visible, the link will not appear.

Using a Standard Link

Select Yes, as a "standard link" when you want the last item in your Scheduler Block to connect visitors to another destination instead of loading more services.

When you select this option, you can customize the LINK TEXT and use PhotoBiz's Link Picker to choose where visitors go when they click the link.

The available link destinations include:

None: Does not assign a destination to the link.
External Link: Opens another website.
Page: Links to another page on your PhotoBiz website.
Form: Opens a form from your Forms Dashboard.
Marketing: Links to a campaign from your Marketing Dashboard.
File: Links to a downloadable document.
Phone: Creates a clickable phone number.
Email: Opens a new email message addressed to the email address you specify.
Address: Links to a location in Google Maps.
Video: Opens a selected video.
Pop-Ups: Displays an existing website pop-up.
Product: Links to a product from your ECommerce Dashboard.
Service: Links to a service from your ECommerce Dashboard.
Scheduler Service: Links directly to an individual appointment service from your Scheduler Dashboard.
Client Gallery: Links to a Client Gallery event.

Select your preferred destination type and complete the corresponding link settings. Click SAVE CHANGES to apply your updates.

For complete instructions on choosing and configuring link destinations, see How to Use the Link Picker in PhotoBiz.

How the Last Item Link Appears on Desktop

For grid-based Scheduler layouts, the number of services initially displayed depends on the ROWS and COLUMNS settings.

When more services are available than the selected grid can display, an enabled Last Item Link can occupy the final available grid position.

For example, a layout configured with 3 rows and 2 columns has 6 grid positions. When additional services are available, the Last Item Link uses the sixth position, leaving five positions for Scheduler services.

Visitors can click the Load More link to display additional services or use a Standard Link to open the configured destination.

How the Last Item Link Appears on Mobile

On mobile devices, grid-based Scheduler Blocks automatically display up to 9 services.

When additional services are available and the Last Item Link is enabled, it appears as the next item.

If you've selected Yes, as a "load more link", visitors can click the link to display additional services without leaving the page.

This responsive behavior is applied automatically, so you do not need to configure separate Rows and Columns settings for mobile devices.

Additional Instructions and Troubleshooting

If your Last Item Link isn't appearing, check the following:

Available Services: Confirm that your Scheduler Block contains more services than the current layout displays if you're using Load More.
Layout Settings: Review your ROWS and COLUMNS settings to determine how many services appear initially.
Last Item Settings: Confirm that you've selected the appropriate option under DISPLAY LAST ITEM LINK and saved your changes.
Selected Layout: Some Last Item display options vary depending on the Scheduler Block layout.

For complete instructions on enabling, customizing, and troubleshooting this feature, see How to Use the Last Item Feature in PhotoBiz.

Changing Your Scheduler Block Layout

The Scheduler Block includes 27 layouts that control how your services appear on your website.

You can choose from image grids, image-and-text designs, menu layouts, and Single Item layouts. Each provides a different way to present your services, images, descriptions, and pricing.

To change your layout, open the Scheduler Block's LAYOUT settings or use CHANGE LAYOUT from the block management menu.

You can switch layouts without deleting your existing Scheduler services.

For step-by-step instructions, see How to Change the Layout of Your Scheduler Block.

Single Item Layouts

Single Item layouts display one selected Scheduler service. They do not include Rows or Columns settings.

Single Item Portrait

When using a Single Item layout, select the Scheduler category and the individual service you want to display.

How Rows and Columns Affect Your Layout

The ROWS and COLUMNS settings determine how many grid positions are available in your Scheduler Block on desktop.

For example, selecting 3 rows and 2 columns creates a grid with 6 positions.

If more services are available than the grid can display, the Last Item Link can occupy the final position when enabled.

The maximum number of rows and columns depends on your selected layout. Mobile devices automatically adjust the display for smaller screens.

Customizing Your Scheduler Block Styling

The STYLING settings allow you to customize the alignment, borders, transparency, and spacing of your Scheduler Block. These options help you control how your services are arranged without changing the services themselves.

To access these settings, open your Scheduler Block and click STYLING in the right-side editing menu.

Available Styling Options

The settings available depend on your selected Scheduler Block layout and may include:

Overlay Opacity: Adjusts the transparency of the overlay displayed over service images, from 0% to 100%.
Title Alignment: Aligns service titles to the left, center, or right.
Description Alignment: Aligns service descriptions to the left, center, or right.
Image Border Thickness: Controls the thickness of borders around service images.
Item Background Opacity: Adjusts the transparency of the background behind individual services.
Space Between Items: Controls the spacing between services using None, Ultra Thin, Thin, Medium, or Thick.
Space Below Blocks: Adjusts the amount of space below your Scheduler Block.
Space Inside Blocks: Controls the spacing between the block's content and its edges.
Flushing: Allows the block to extend across the available page width when enabled, rather than using the standard content width.

Understanding Customized Styling Settings

Some styling options display a CUSTOMIZED indicator when their values have been changed from your website's global design settings.

You can click the X within the CUSTOMIZED indicator to reset that option to its global setting.

This allows you to customize an individual Scheduler Block while maintaining consistent styling throughout the rest of your website.

After making your changes, click SAVE CHANGES to apply your updated styling.

Customizing Your Scheduler Block Colors

The COLORS settings allow you to customize the colors used in your Scheduler Block without changing the rest of your website. Depending on your selected layout, you can adjust service titles, descriptions, backgrounds, borders, and Last Item Link colors.

To access these settings, open your Scheduler Block and click COLORS in the right-side editing menu.

Available Scheduler Block Color Settings

The following color options are available depending on your selected Scheduler Block layout:

Title Color: Controls the color of your Scheduler service titles.
Text Color: Controls the color of service descriptions and other supporting text.
Background Color: Controls the overall background color of the Scheduler Block.
Item Background Color: Controls the background color behind individual services within the block.
Last Item Text Color: Controls the text color used for the Last Item Link.
Last Item Background Color: Controls the background color of the Last Item Link.
Shape Background Color: Controls the background color of decorative shapes used in supported layouts.
Shape Text Color: Controls the text displayed within shapes in supported layouts.
Border Color: Controls the color of borders used in supported layouts.

To change a color, click its color square to open the Color Picker or enter a hexadecimal (HEX) color code in the corresponding field.

Click SAVE CHANGES to apply your updated colors.

For complete instructions on using block-level color settings, see How to Customize Colors in Individual Blocks on Your PhotoBiz Website.

Understanding Customized Colors

Your Scheduler Block uses your website's global color settings by default.

When you change an individual color, PhotoBiz displays a CUSTOMIZED indicator beside that setting. This means the block is using a custom color instead of the corresponding global website color.

You can click the X within the CUSTOMIZED indicator to reset that color to its global setting.

This allows you to give an individual Scheduler Block its own appearance while maintaining consistent colors throughout the rest of your website.

Customizing Your Scheduler Calendar Colors

The booking calendar uses specific website color settings to control how available dates, time slots, client information fields, and booking buttons appear.

For most Scheduler layouts, these colors are controlled by your website's global design settings.

Scheduler Element	Website Color Setting
Available Dates	Accent 2
Selected Time Slot	Accent 2
Calendar Date Numbers	Contrast Text
Time Slots	Site Text
Client Information Section	Form Background
Book Now Button Background	Button Background
Book Now Button Text	Button Text

Changing these global colors may also affect other website elements that use the same settings.

For complete instructions, see How to Customize Your Scheduler Colors in PhotoBiz.

Customizing Colors for Single Item Layouts

Single Item layouts provide their own color settings within the Scheduler Block.

These settings allow you to customize the colors used for an individual service without changing the corresponding global website colors.

If you're using a Single Item layout and your global color changes are not appearing as expected, review the color settings within that Scheduler Block.

For more information about how these settings work, see How to Customize Your Scheduler Colors in PhotoBiz.

Customizing Last Item Link Colors

The Scheduler Block also includes Last Item Text Color and Last Item Background Color settings.

These control the appearance of your Last Item Link, whether you're using it to display additional services or direct visitors to another destination.

The COLORS settings control how the link looks. The LAST ITEM settings control what happens when someone clicks it.

For complete instructions on enabling and configuring the link, see How to Enable the Last Item Link in PhotoBiz.

Changing Your Scheduler Block Background

The BACKGROUND settings allow you to add an image behind your Scheduler Block.

You can upload your own image or select one from the PhotoBiz Background Library.

Available Background Positioning Options

Tile: Repeats the image to fill the background.
Top Left: Positions the image in the upper-left corner.
Centered: Centers the image within the available background area.
Cover: Enlarges the image until it fills the background area.

Background images can help distinguish your booking section from the surrounding content on your website.

For complete instructions, see How to Change a Block Background in PhotoBiz.

Customizing Your Scheduler Block Fonts

The FONTS settings allow you to customize the typography used in your Scheduler Block without changing the fonts throughout your website.

Depending on your selected layout, you can customize the fonts used for:

Service titles
Service prices
Last Item Link text

For each available font area, you can adjust the font face, font size, letter spacing, and line height.

Individual block font settings override the corresponding global website font settings.

For complete instructions, see How to Customize Fonts in Individual Blocks on Your PhotoBiz Website.

Customizing Your Scheduler Block Animations

The ANIMATIONS settings control how service images respond when visitors hover over them.

You can choose from the following Image Hover animations:

None: Does not apply a hover animation.
Scale: Creates a scaling effect.
Blur: Applies a blur effect.
Scale Blur: Combines scaling and blurring.
Bounce: Adds a bounce animation.

To customize these settings, open your Scheduler Block and click ANIMATIONS in the right-side menu.

Select the animation you want to use and click SAVE CHANGES.

The selected animation overrides your website's global Image Hover animation setting for this block.

See How To Change Image Animation Settings for complete instructions.

Changing Your Scheduler Detail Page Layout

The Scheduler Detail Page Layout controls how an individual service appears when a visitor selects it to view booking details.

This is different from your Scheduler Block layout, which controls how multiple services appear together on your website page.

PhotoBiz includes three Scheduler Detail Page Layout options:

Single Item Portrait
Single Item Square
Single Item Landscape

These layouts can be configured through your website's DESIGN settings under DETAIL PAGE LAYOUTS.

For complete instructions, see How to Update the Scheduler Detail Page Layout.

Managing Your Scheduler Block

The Scheduler Block includes a management menu that allows you to copy, move, rename, change the layout, adjust advanced settings, or delete the entire block.

To access these options, click the pencil icon in the upper-right corner of your Scheduler Block.

Available Block Management Options

COPY: Creates a duplicate of the Scheduler Block directly below the original. You can edit the copied block independently without changing the original. For instructions on copying and reusing blocks, see How to Move or Copy Blocks Between Pages.
MOVE: Moves your existing Scheduler Block to another website page or repositions it at the top or bottom of the current page. Moving a block preserves its existing content and settings. For complete instructions, see How to Use the Move Function With Blocks.
RENAME: Allows you to give your Scheduler Block a custom name for easier identification in the Website Builder. You can also use block names to create anchor links that direct visitors to a specific section of a website page. For complete instructions, see How to Rename Blocks and Add Anchor Links.
CHANGE LAYOUT: Opens the layout selection panel, where you can choose a different arrangement for your Scheduler services without removing the existing services from your block. For additional instructions, see How to Change the Layout of Your Scheduler Block.
ADVANCED: Opens additional settings for your Scheduler Block.
DELETE: Opens the confirmation panel for permanently deleting the entire Scheduler Block.

Deleting an Entire Scheduler Block

Deleting a Scheduler Block removes it from your website page, but it does not delete the services saved in your Scheduler Dashboard.

To remove the block, click the pencil icon in the upper-right corner of your Scheduler Block and select DELETE.

The DELETE BLOCK confirmation panel opens with the message:

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE THIS BLOCK?

PhotoBiz displays the following warning:

This action cannot be undone. The block and all content within it will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

You have two options:

YES, DELETE IT: Permanently deletes the Scheduler Block and its settings from your website page.
CANCEL: Closes the confirmation panel without deleting the block.

Important: Deleted Scheduler Blocks cannot be recovered. However, your existing Scheduler services remain available in your Scheduler Dashboard. You can add another Scheduler Block to your website and select those services again.

If you only want to change which services appear on your page, use the SELECT SCHEDULER SERVICES settings instead of deleting the entire block.

What Your Clients See

When visitors open a website page containing a Scheduler Block, they see the services that match your selected categories, tags, or custom service selections.

Depending on the block layout, visitors may see service images, titles, descriptions, and pricing.

When a visitor selects a service, they can view its booking details, choose from available appointment dates and times, enter their information, and complete the booking process based on the settings configured for that service.

If you have enabled online payments, the applicable payment options appear during checkout.

When a paid booking is completed, the client receives a payment receipt. Additional booking notifications and reminders depend on your Scheduler notification and email automation settings.

The availability, pricing, duration, payment requirements, and other booking details come from the service settings in your Scheduler Dashboard, not from the Scheduler Block itself.

Scheduler Block Limit

Each website page allows a combined maximum of 30 content-heavy blocks.

The following block types count toward this limit:

Images Block
Banner Block
List Block
Blog Block
Products Block
Services Block
Scheduler Block
Client Galleries Block

Each individual block counts as one toward the page limit, regardless of how many items it displays.

For example, a page containing 10 Images Blocks, 10 Banner Blocks, and 10 Scheduler Blocks has reached the combined limit of 30.

Other block types, such as Text Editor, Title, Video, Form, Button, HTML, and FAQ Blocks, do not count toward this limit.

For more information, see Maximum Number of Blocks Per Page.

Helpful Notes

Managing Scheduler services: Service names, descriptions, images, prices, appointment duration, and availability are controlled in your Scheduler Dashboard. The Scheduler Block determines how those services appear on your website.

Using multiple Scheduler Blocks: You can add more than one Scheduler Block to a page and configure each one to display different categories, tags, or individual services, provided you stay within the combined block limit.

Desktop and mobile layouts: Scheduler layouts automatically adjust to different screen sizes. Review your page on both desktop and mobile to make sure your services are easy to browse and book.

Changing layouts: You can switch Scheduler Block layouts without rebuilding your services or changing the appointments and settings saved in your Scheduler Dashboard.

Updating your website: Changes made in the Website Builder take effect when saved. You do not need to publish your website separately.
