This is useful when particular services require more information about the client than others. For example, a music school may want to know whether a client enrolled in an electric guitar lesson has their own guitar and amplifier.  **NOTE: **currently this feature is only supported for appointments. To customize the client note displayed for a particular service, navigate to your **Services **page and click **Update **on the service to be modified. Then, click the **edit button **(the pencil icon) in the **Details **section under the **General **tab. Then, scroll down to the setting **Self-booking client note placeholder**.  When customizing the self-booking client note placeholder, you may use the placeholder, which will be replaced by the participant client's name at self-booking checkout. ![](https://kb.opus1.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-02-21%20at%2012-31-50%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=686&height=1641&name=Screenshot%202024-02-21%20at%2012-31-50%E2%80%AFPM-png.png) If you wish to make this field required, toggle on (green) the setting **Require client note at self-booking**.  ![](https://kb.opus1.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-02-21%20at%2012-36-50%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=688&height=1650&name=Screenshot%202024-02-21%20at%2012-36-50%E2%80%AFPM-png.png) When the client completes self-booking, the note is sent to the staff of the appointment as a client comment within Opus1.io and as an email notification.  ![](https://kb.opus1.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-02-21%20at%2012-43-13%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=687&height=1807&name=Screenshot%202024-02-21%20at%2012-43-13%E2%80%AFPM-png.png) ![](https://kb.opus1.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-02-21%20at%2012-52-07%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=688&height=1486&name=Screenshot%202024-02-21%20at%2012-52-07%E2%80%AFPM-png.png) -
