At the end of this configuration, maybe will receive a message like that:

This is not worrying as this staff will only be used for assigned automatically appointments

Go to Settings > Services > Add new service
For a new service, you have some configuration to add, so it is important to take a time to fill in each available option.
Note: the option Maximum number of attendees, if you choose 1 attendee(s) and you have 2 staffs like Guess, please pay attention because in this service you can have 2 appointments at the same time, one for the first staff (like terminal 1) and another for the second staff (like terminal 2).
This setting was desired by the members of this booking.
After fill out all options desired, click on Save changes to create the service.
