Sub-services
Menu Our items → sub-services (service variants).
Sellable and bookable level: price, duration, unit of measure, staff, invoicing, site display, archive, galleries.
Belonging to a service
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Service required | Each sub-service must belong to a parent service. |
| Service → category | The service itself is in a category (see Services). |
FR / EN description and “In Site Web”
As for services, the sub-service has a description in French and in English.
| Condition | Display |
|---|---|
| In Site Web enabled (visible on the site) | FR / EN texts (and the offering) are used on the showcase according to visitor language |
| In Site Web disabled | Not shown on the site (may remain usable in admin depending on other rules) |
Same logic for the parent service: FR/EN description shown on the site only if the service is active In Site Web.
Displayed, bookable, archived
| Concept | Meaning |
|---|---|
| In Site Web / Displayed | Visible on the showcase (if the services page is active). |
| Bookable online | Can be chosen for an appointment on the site. |
| Archived | No longer offered for sale / on the site; history remains. |
| Situation after archive | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Website | No longer appears. |
| New invoice | No longer appears in choices. |
| Past invoices / appointments | Kept. |
Excel import (several sub-services at once)
To fill a store catalogue quickly:
- Export the Excel template from the sub-services list.
- Complete the file (FR/EN names, price, duration, etc.).
- Import: EliaFlow can create / match in chain:
| Column / level | Effect |
|---|---|
| Service category (FR/EN) | Created or matched |
| Service (FR/EN) | Created or matched in the category |
| Sub-service (FR/EN) + price, duration, unit… | Created or updated (depending on import rules) |
So you import several sub-services, and if needed services and categories, directly from this screen — ideal for provisioning a store.
Images: not via the Excel file
Images (photo / video files) are not bulk-imported in Excel.
You must add them per service or per sub-service individually in the admin (upload on the record).
The template may mention text paths, but real media upload is done record by record.
Image / video galleries (website)
On the sub-service record, you manage galleries specific to the showcase:
| Gallery | Use |
|---|---|
| Image gallery | Sub-service photos for the site |
| Video gallery | Associated videos for the site |
Customer images linked to this sub-service
In the same gallery context, you also find customer images that used this sub-service.
You can choose to publish them or not on the site gallery (customer consent + staff publication — see Customer images).
Link with staff (required for booking)
A sub-service must have at least one employee (staff) linked.
| Rule | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Minimum 1 staff | Needed so the booking system can calculate availability |
| Who appears | Only linked staff are offered for this service in booking / planning |
| Without staff | Impossible to determine available slots correctly |
Overview: Our items.
Tags (if module enabled)
When the Tags module is ON, the Visibility & team section also shows a Tags select.
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Attach tags | Choose one or more existing tags |
| Create a tag without leaving the form | + button to the right of the select → FR/EN name → tag is created and selected |
Details: Tags.
Dropdown lists (select)
On the form (and in modals), opening a select (Service, Tags, Staff, etc.) shows the options list above the rest of the page: it is not clipped by the form card / section. Truncated labels in the closed field are unchanged.
