Enhancing the Date Picker with AM/PM Delivery Slots

This enhancement adds AM/PM delivery slots to the Date Picker module.

Note: The Date Picker module is a chargeable feature and requires NCompass Engineer Area Management AND WebPresence Delivery Datepicker Modules to function.

If you do not currently offer delivery dates on your website but wish to start doing so, please contact the admin team by clicking the provided button link.

Before You Begin

• If you do not have the Date Picker set up, please follow the setup documentation before continuing.
  Reach out to support@findesolutions.com to obtain the most up-to-date setup guide.

• If you already have the Date Picker installed and are familiar with configuring shipping options in NCompass, you can proceed with the steps below.

Step 1: Navigate to Shipping Options

1. Open NCompass.

2. Go to Field Calls > Shipping Options.

You should already see existing services such as AM and PM delivery options (if previously set up).

Step 2: Create Additional AM/PM Services (if needed)

If you’d like to add new AM/PM delivery services:

1. Duplicate an existing service, such as Next Day Delivery or Anytime.

2. Rename the duplicated service to represent the new time slot (e.g., Next Day AM or Next Day PM).

3. Associate a new delivery product with each new shipping option you create.

Step 3: Configure “Schedule As”

Within the Shipping Option Detail tab:

1. Locate the Schedule As field.

2. Select the appropriate option:

   • AM Anytime

   • PM Anytime

This ensures the slot is categorised correctly.

Step 4: Result on the Website

Once configured:

• The new AM/PM delivery options will appear alongside existing shipping methods at checkout.

• Availability logic:

  • AM/PM slots are only offered if engineers are available for those slots in NCompass.

  • The Anytime option always appears, as long as there are delivery points available for that day.
