Timeslot Wizard

Setting rental schedules used to mean clicking through long forms for every hourly slot, daily package, and price connection. The Timeslot Wizard lets you describe how you rent — like you would at the counter — and Rex builds the whole schedule for you to review.

When to Use the Wizard

Use the wizard when… Use manual timeslots when…
You're setting up for the first time You're tweaking one small detail
You offer several durations (half-day, full-day, weekend) You need a single one-off schedule
You want Rex to suggest prices per unit You prefer full manual control

Open the Wizard

  1. Go to Account → Timeslots in the navbar
  2. Click Guided Wizard (or Create via Wizard if you have no timeslots yet)

You can also reach it from Create in the navbar → Timeslot card.

Step 1: Describe

Tell Rex how your rentals work. Include whatever you know:

  • Operating hours (e.g., 9am–5pm)
  • Rental lengths (2 hours, half-day, full day, weekend)
  • Turnaround or cleanup time between rentals
  • Season (May–October)
  • Ballpark prices ($250 half-day, $400 full day)

Click Generate my schedule, pick an example prompt, choose a preset, or let Rex suggest a schedule from your fleet.

Tip: More detail in your description means fewer edits on the next step.

Step 2: Plan

Rex shows a draft of your timeslots — names, hours, duration options, and active days.

  • Expand each card to see the timeline for that day
  • Edit anything that doesn't match your operation
  • Remove options you don't offer

When the plan looks right, continue to pricing.

Step 3: Pricing

Set the price for each unit on each timeslot. If you mentioned prices in your description, Rex may pre-fill them.

  • Enter amounts in dollars (what customers pay)
  • Different units can have different prices on the same schedule
  • Package options (Weekend, Week) get their own price per unit

Step 4: Review

See everything you're about to create:

  • Timeslot names and settings
  • Duration options
  • Units and prices attached

Click Create to publish. Rex confirms when your schedule is live.

After the Wizard

Your new timeslots appear on the Account → Timeslots matrix where you can:

  • Archive schedules you no longer offer
  • Adjust prices in bulk
  • Add more units to an existing schedule

For day-to-day edits to one field, the regular Add Timeslot form still works.

Common Questions

Can customers book immediately?

Yes — the wizard connects units and prices so schedules are bookable as soon as you finish.

What if I only need one timeslot?

Use Add Timeslot on the timeslots page, or run the wizard and delete extra drafts on the Plan step.

Does Rex replace my existing schedules?

No. The wizard creates new timeslots. Your existing schedules stay until you archive them.
