Translated from the Italian guide. Narciso itself is in Italian, so the names of buttons, menus and fields are shown exactly as they appear on screen, with a translation in brackets where it helps.

The Servizi (Services) tab of the Stock is the salon's price list: everything that is done and sold by time (haircut, colour, beard, massage...). Services are used by appointments (duration, operators, workstations), by the Cash desk (price, points), by online booking and by the bot, which offer only those that are Attivi (Active).

The columns#

The table has 14 columns; with Visibilità (Visibility) you choose the ones to show. The general behaviour is in Data tables.

Column What it shows
Nome (Name) The name, in bold
Categoria (Category) A grey label with the category; «Generale» (General) if it is empty
Target Who it is aimed at: Tutti (Everyone), Donna (Women), Uomo (Men), Bambino (Children)
Durata (min) (Duration (min)) The active duration, for example «30 min»; «-» if missing
Buffer (min) The cleaning time after the service; «-» if zero
Posa (min) (Processing time (min)) The processing time, during which the operator is free; «-» if zero
Postazioni coinvolte (Workstations involved) The required workstations, separated by commas; «-» if none
Operatori abilitati (Qualified operators) The names of the qualified operators, or «Tutti gli operatori» (All operators) if there is no list
Prezzo (€) (Price) The price-list price, VAT included, for example «€ 25.00»
IVA (%) (VAT) The rate, for example «22%»
Provvigione (%) (Commission) The percentage credited to the employee; «0%» if empty
Punti (Points) The loyalty points that the service awards
Online Online (green) or Solo interno (Internal only) (grey)
Stato (Status) Attivo (green) or Disabilitato (Disabled) (red)

The toolbar#

Action How it works
Aggiungi (Add) With no row selected. A small menu offers Importa esistenti (Import existing) (from documents) and Crea da zero (Create from scratch) (the guided procedure)
Modifica (Edit) With one row selected it opens «Modifica Servizio» (Edit Service). With no row, «Seleziona un servizio dall'elenco per modificarlo» (Select a service from the list to edit it) appears
Click on the Attivo/Disabilitato label Flips the status immediately, without selecting the row, without confirmation and without a notification
Esporta (Export), Visibilità As in the other tables (Data tables)

Services cannot be deleted: to remove one from the price list you set the status to Disabilitato (only Titolare (owner) and Responsabile (manager); an Operatore (operator) receives «Operazione riservata a Titolare o Responsabile.» (Operation reserved for Titolare or Responsabile.)).

What changes with Disabilitato. The service is no longer offered when you create an appointment, does not appear in online booking and is not offered by the bot that takes bookings; it keeps appearing in the Cassa's list. Appointments already booked with that service stay.

Creating a service#

It opens with Aggiungi ▸ Crea da zero: the «Nuovo Servizio» (New Service) window (when editing «Modifica Servizio») has 3 steps: Dati Principali → Tempi e Risorse → Listino e Canali (Main data → Times and resources → Price list and channels). At the bottom there are Annulla (Cancel), Indietro (Back), Avanti (Next) and, at the last step, Crea Servizio (Create service) (when editing Salva Modifiche (Save changes)). In the step bar you can click only the steps already seen. Annulla, the X and a click outside the window close it without asking for confirmation and without saving.

Step 1 — Dati Principali#

Field Compulsory Rules
Nome del Servizio (Service name) Yes From 2 to 100 characters («Il nome del servizio è obbligatorio» (The service name is compulsory), «Il nome deve contenere almeno 2 caratteri» (The name must contain at least 2 characters)). In the same location there cannot be two services with the same name, not even if one is Disabilitato
Categoria Yes One or more categories from the fixed list (see below). Without: «Seleziona almeno una categoria» (Select at least one category)
Durata attiva (Active duration) Yes Minutes, in steps of 5, from 5 to 480 («La durata è obbligatoria (da 5 a 480 minuti)» (The duration is compulsory (from 5 to 480 minutes)))
Target clientela (Client target) No Tutti i clienti (All clients) (default), Solo Donna (Women only), Solo Uomo (Men only), Solo Bambini (Children only)
Descrizione (Description) No Free text on two lines

The categories. The list is fixed (new categories cannot be created) and is multiple choice: each click adds or removes a category and the menu stays open. Next to each entry the «i» shows examples of services that belong to it. The 15 categories are: Taglio (Haircut), Styling e acconciature (Styling and hairstyles), Colore (Colour), Trattamenti capelli e cuoio capelluto (Hair and scalp treatments), Trattamenti tecnici capelli (Technical hair treatments), Barba e rasatura (Beard and shaving), Viso (Face), Corpo (Body), Depilazione (Hair removal), Mani e piedi (Hands and feet), Sopracciglia e ciglia (Eyebrows and lashes), Make-up e trucco permanente (Make-up and permanent make-up), Abbronzatura (Tanning), Benessere e spa (Wellness and spa), Consulenza (Consultation).

Step 2 — Tempi e Risorse#

Field Rules
Buffer Pulizia / Sanificazione (Cleaning / Sanitising buffer) Minutes, in steps of 5, not negative. «Pausa post-servizio per riordino» (Post-service break for tidying up)
Tempo di Posa (Autonomo) (Processing time (Autonomous)) Minutes, in steps of 5, not negative. «Operatore libero per altri appuntamenti» (Operator free for other appointments)
Postazioni coinvolte Menu with boxes. Label: «Tutte le postazioni (Nessun vincolo)» (All workstations (No restriction)) if none, the name if only one, «N postazioni coinvolte» (N workstations involved) otherwise. Inside the menu: Aggiungi nuova nel DB... (Add new to the database...) (you write the name, for example «Lavatesta 2» (Basin 2), and press Invio (Enter) or the «Salva nel database» (Save to the database) icon: «Postazione "NOME" creata nel database» (Workstation "NAME" created in the database) appears), the Tutte (All) / Deseleziona tutte (Deselect all) link and, next to each workstation, a bin that, after confirmation («Eliminare definitivamente "NOME" dal database? Verrà rimossa anche da eventuali altri servizi e collaboratori a cui è assegnata.» (Permanently delete "NAME" from the database? It will also be removed from any other services and team members it is assigned to.)), deletes it. Creating and deleting workstations is reserved for Titolare and Responsabile
Operatori abilitati Menu with boxes, with Seleziona tutti (Select all) / Deseleziona tutti (Deselect all) and the counter «N/M attivi» (N/M active). «Chi nel team può eseguire questo servizio» (Who in the team can perform this service)

No operator ticked means «all», including those who will be hired in the future. Ticking them all by hand, instead, counts as a fixed list of people.

The operators and workstations chosen are aligned with the team member's record (Staff): enabling a team member for a service also updates their list of qualified services, and vice versa. If the service requires certain workstations, you can enable only the team members who have at least one workstation of that type assigned; otherwise «Non puoi abilitare a questo servizio: NOMI. Per ogni tipo di postazione richiesto dal servizio il collaboratore deve avere assegnata almeno una postazione di quel tipo.» (You cannot enable for this service: NAMES. For each type of workstation required by the service, the team member must have at least one workstation of that type assigned.) appears.

Step 3 — Listino e Canali#

Field Rules
Prezzo di Listino (€) (Price-list price) Compulsory, in steps of 0.50, VAT included. Not negative (0 is allowed): «Il prezzo di listino non può essere negativo» (The price-list price cannot be negative)
Aliquota IVA (VAT rate) Menu: 22% (Ordinaria, Standard), 10% (Ridotta, Reduced), 5% (Super-ridotta, Super-reduced), 4% (Minima, Minimum), 0% (Esente, Exempt). Default 22%
Provvigione Dipendente (%) (Employee commission) From 0 to 100: «La provvigione deve essere compresa tra 0% e 100%» (The commission must be between 0% and 100%). «% sul prezzo riconosciuta all'operatore» (% of the price credited to the operator); today it is an informational figure, no pay calculation uses it
Punti Fedeltà Assegnati (Loyalty points awarded) Whole number from 0 upwards, credited to the client for each session («I punti non possono essere negativi» (Points cannot be negative)). A service with 0 points gives none
Servito a domicilio (Provided at home) Solo in sede (On site only) / Erogabile a domicilio (Can be provided at home) switch
Prenotazione Online (Online booking) Visibile online (Visible online) (default) / Nascosto online (Hidden online) switch. A hidden service does not appear in the online booking catalogue and cannot be booked from there; it stays available to staff in the calendar

Avanti checks the step you are in; Crea Servizio rechecks everything and, in case of error, takes you back to the first step that is wrong. On saving, «Servizio creato con successo» (Service created successfully) (or «Servizio aggiornato con successo» (Service updated successfully)) appears, the window closes and the service is in the table. If it fails, «Si è verificato un errore durante il salvataggio» (An error occurred while saving) appears: the most frequent causes are a name already used in the same location, a duration outside 5–480 minutes or the absence of an active location. If a colleague saved the same service in the meantime, the conflict message described in Stock appears.

The service's costo vivo (direct cost) cannot be edited.

Editing a service#

  1. Click the service's row and press Modifica.
  2. «Modifica Servizio» opens with the same 3 steps already filled in.
  3. Change what you need and press Salva Modifiche at the last step.

Changing the price does not modify appointments already booked or sales already recorded.

Importing services from documents#

It is used to create services starting from a price list or a sheet already written. It is reserved for Titolare and Responsabile.

  1. Servizi ▸ Aggiungi ▸ Importa esistenti.
  2. The guided import window opens, described in Importing clients: you upload the files, the program reads them with artificial intelligence and shows a preview of the services found, from which you choose which to insert.
  3. For each service these are needed: name (at least 2 characters), price, duration (from 5 to 480 minutes), VAT rate (22, 10, 5, 4 or 0) and category from the fixed list; if one of these is missing or not valid, that service is not imported and you see the reason.

Imported services are created with buffer and processing time at zero, all operators, no workstation, target Tutti, points 0, visible online and Attivi. If a service with the same name already exists in the location, «Esiste già un servizio chiamato "NOME" in questa sede.» (A service called "NAME" already exists in this location.) appears. After the import it is always best to recheck each service with Modifica, especially duration, times and points.

«From supplier» services#

The items that the Cassa in Paga (Pay) mode saves as a service (for example a resold course), if they are not for internal use, appear in this table with the category «Servizio (da fornitore)» (Service (from supplier)), empty duration and times, Solo interno and price and VAT inherited. On these rows the Stato (Attivo/Disabilitato) works; price and category cannot be changed from the Magazzino.

How the service's data is used#

Data Where it has effect
Durata, Posa, Buffer A service takes up duration + processing time + buffer minutes in the calendar (30 if the duration is missing). This also applies to the overlap check for home-visit appointments
Postazioni coinvolte They decide which team members the service can be enabled for (Staff) and appear in the service's record in the Cassa
Operatori abilitati Who can be chosen for that service in the Calendar (calendar), in online booking and for the bot
Prezzo, IVA Appointments (total price) and Cash desk
Provvigione Informational only: it appears in the table and in the record in the Cassa
Punti Loyalty points credited to the client with a card when the service is paid in the Cassa (Loyalty points)
Target Only for online booking and the bot: a «Solo Uomo» or «Solo Donna» service is hidden from a client of the opposite gender; if the gender is not known everything is shown; «Tutti» and «Solo Bambini» are always visible. It does not limit the internal calendar
Servito a domicilio A home-visit appointment can be offered only if every chosen service and every assigned operator are enabled for home visits
Stato See above
