Documentation
Navigate to JoomBook → Services → Categories → New to create a new service category. Categories help group services in the booking wizard - useful when you offer many different services.
Fields
| Field | Description |

Assigning a Service to a Category
- Open the service under JoomBook → Services
- Switch to the Service Details section
- Select the desired category from the Category field
- Click Save
Setting the Order of Services
The order in which the services of a category appear in the booking form is set inside the category - not in the service list.
- Open the category under JoomBook → Services → Categories
- Below the form, a card of its own lists all services of this category
- Drag the services into the order you want
The new order is saved immediately; you do not need to click Save for it. For a category you have only just created, this card appears once the category has been saved - before that it has no services assigned.
Categories in the Booking Wizard
When at least one category exists, the booking form shows the categories first and then the services of the selected category.
As long as no category exists at all, the category step is skipped entirely and every service is shown straight away. Categories are therefore optional - but it is either all services assigned, or no category at all.
The No category filter in the service list helps here: it shows at a glance which services still need to be assigned.
