Pre-release Documentation for Ascent Direct Booking. Not yet approved for commercial release. View availability details
Business setup
Handover, identity, currency, language, and publishing the booking page.
A new self-service installation starts unpublished. The site administrator designates the first owner. After publication, customers can use the booking page. This family does not include a second business location on the same installation.
The site administrator designates the first business owner. A second owner designation is refused.
New pilot result on 1.2.104
On a fresh local site the first designation succeeded. A second attempt was refused for an owner and for an administrator, and a signed-out attempt was refused.
Before you start. A fresh plugin installation. This is not a public claim-this-site form.
Limit. It does not create a second business, and it does not prove a hosted signup shop. The 1.2.104 candidate is not commercially accepted.
Technical details
Why it matters. The business can be handed to an owner who then works without the WordPress administrator capability.
Example. An installer finishes WordPress setup, designates one owner, and stops. Another staff login cannot take that designation.
Who uses it. The installing administrator, once. After that, the business owner. The designation flow, then the owner app.
Status: Cited local evidence. This is not commercial acceptance. Origin: New result recorded on the 1.2.104 local pilot. This guide did not re-run that pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release. R11 local-pilot ledger, record dated 2026-10-24. This guide did not re-run the pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release.
The designated owner manages the business from the owner app and does not receive the WordPress administrator capability.
New pilot result on 1.2.104
The fresh pilot owner lacked the administrator capability, held the business-settings capability, and opened the owner app by its page address.
Before you start. A completed first-owner designation.
Limit. Specialist clinical screens are not granted by this capability. A practitioner’s own diary is a different boundary and was not the check in this row.
Technical details
Why it matters. Day-to-day booking administration does not require a WordPress menu account.
Example. The owner bookmarks the owner page and works there after handover.
Who uses it. The business owner. The owner app page.
Status: Cited local evidence. This is not commercial acceptance. Origin: New result recorded on the 1.2.104 local pilot. This guide did not re-run that pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release. R11 local-pilot ledger, record dated 2026-10-24. This guide did not re-run the pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release.
New self-service installations start unpublished. Publishing opens the booking page after the readiness checks pass.
New pilot result on 1.2.104
The fresh pilot completed setup and published with IDR and Asia/Makassar. Until publication, the public page tells the visitor that the owner must publish first.
Before you start. Required pages and a resolved currency and timezone. Password recovery must be using the current site address or publication stays closed.
Limit. A separate pause-and-reopen control was not in the 1.2.104 ledger. Publishing is not the same as a software subscription being paid.
Technical details
Why it matters. Customers do not see a half-finished booking page while currency, pages, and owner handover are still incomplete.
Example. The owner finishes the required pages and identity, then publishes. Only then does a customer booking page accept a public visit.
Who uses it. The business owner. Owner setup.
Status: Cited local evidence. This is not commercial acceptance. Origin: New result recorded on the 1.2.104 local pilot. This guide did not re-run that pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release. R11 local-pilot ledger, record dated 2026-10-24. This guide did not re-run the pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release.
Setup progress is stored so a refresh does not pretend the business is finished.
Previously accepted slice, carried forward
The accepted owner-foundation slice stores setup progress. The 1.2.104 pilot published a finished setup and did not film an interrupted return.
Before you start. The owner-foundation slice. Progress is not itself publication.
Limit. This guide did not re-run an interrupted setup on 1.2.104.
Technical details
Why it matters. An interrupted setup can be continued from the stored step instead of being marked complete by accident.
Example. The owner enters a business name, leaves, and comes back to the same setup instead of an empty form that claims success.
Who uses it. The business owner. Owner setup.
Status: Cited local evidence. This is not commercial acceptance. Origin: Accepted as a local slice, then carried into 1.2.104. Not rerun on the fresh pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release. M1 local acceptance dated 2026-10-21. Not re-run on the 1.2.104 pilot.
The business chooses IDR or GBP, and a timezone, before real catalogue and booking records lock that money context.
New pilot result on 1.2.104
The fresh pilot published IDR at scale 0 with Asia/Makassar. A language switch left the currency, scale, and timezone unchanged. An earlier candidate refused an IDR price while the business was GBP, and refused a currency change after records existed.
Before you start. The choice is made before the first real service, visit, credit entry, or schedule block. The same currency and timezone can be saved again.
Limit. It does not convert historical rows into another currency. It does not collect payment. This guide does not certify every timezone in the world.
Technical details
Why it matters. Prices and appointment times stay in one business context instead of being relabelled later.
Example. A business in Makassar publishes in rupiah. Switching the screen to English does not turn those amounts into pounds.
Who uses it. The business owner. Setup and settings.
Status: Cited local evidence. This is not commercial acceptance. Origin: New result recorded on the 1.2.104 local pilot. This guide did not re-run that pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release. R11 local-pilot ledger, record dated 2026-10-24. This guide did not re-run the pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release.
Scoped reading. Appointment times stay on the business timezone stored with this setting. The local evidence does not show the diary rewriting those times onto a visitor’s own clock.
Interface language
English and Bahasa Indonesia can be used for the interface. The business’s currency and timezone stay as stored.
New pilot result on 1.2.104
The fresh pilot switched between English and Bahasa Indonesia and left IDR, scale 0, and Asia/Makassar unchanged. The language pack does not cover every screen.
Before you start. One of the two offered languages. Business-authored service names stay as written until a translation is saved.
Limit. Right-to-left layout is not included. Not every label is translated. The pack is not a translation of clinical records.
Technical details
Why it matters. A customer or owner can read the interface in the offered language without rewriting prices.
Example. A customer switches the booking page to Bahasa Indonesia, completes the translated prompts, and the stored price is still rupiah.
Who uses it. Customers, owners, and practitioners, for the screens the pack covers. The language control on the booking and owner surfaces that include it.
Status: Cited local evidence. This is not commercial acceptance. Origin: New result recorded on the 1.2.104 local pilot. This guide did not re-run that pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release. R11 local-pilot ledger, record dated 2026-10-24. This guide did not re-run the pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release.
The edition is one WordPress installation and one database for one business.
New pilot result on 1.2.104
The pilot installed and upgraded separate disposable sites. Nothing in that evidence combines two businesses on one site.
Before you start. A separate site and database per business. Hosting that site is an operating choice, not a second product.
Limit. This is not a multi-location switcher and not a WordPress-free engine. Shared multi-tenant hosting is a later architecture, not this candidate.
Technical details
Why it matters. That business’s services, people, and bookings stay on its own site.
Example. A second brand gets its own installation rather than a location switcher inside the first.
Who uses it. The installer and the business owner. The WordPress installation.
Status: Cited local evidence. This is not commercial acceptance. Origin: New result recorded on the 1.2.104 local pilot. This guide did not re-run that pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release. R11 local-pilot ledger, record dated 2026-10-24. This guide did not re-run the pilot. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release.
A business type can be stored. This guide does not list which words each type changes.
Not determined
Older decisions say a returning owner keeps the stored business type. The 1.2.104 ledger does not record a preset-by-preset check.
Before you start. Unknown until the preset list and its effects are re-read against 1.2.104.
Limit. A business type does not add clinical tools, payments, or a shop. Do not treat an unresolved preset as a feature.
Technical details
Why it matters. Labels can match the business if a preset is actually configured. The exact preset list was not re-checked.
Example. Someone selects a clinic or a salon label and expects the booking words to change. Do not assume that from this guide.
Who uses it. The business owner. Setup, where the control is shown.
Status: Not determined. Origin: Not determined. Candidate 1.2.104 is not an accepted commercial release. Not verified for this guide. Described as unresolved rather than as an available feature.
Account menu adaptation was not determined. A stored business type does not show that the account menu changes. This guide does not list which words a business type changes.
