Use the appointment calendar

See your day, week or month of appointments, switch location, choose which staff to show and find a booking.

The appointment calendar is where you see all your bookings. It is for companies that sell services, like salons and clinics.

Change the view

At the top of the calendar:

  • Use the arrows on each side of the date to go back or forward. Each click moves one day, one week or one month, depending on the view.
  • Choose Day, Week or Month to change how much you see.
  • Click Today to jump back to today.
  • Click the date to open the Calendar panel.

Switch location

If you have more than one location, choose the location you want to see in the location menu at the top.

Choose which staff to show

Use the Resources menu at the top to pick which staff members (and rooms) are shown. When nothing is hidden it says "Showing all resources". Hiding a person only changes what you see. It does not change their bookings.

Find a booking

Click Search at the top of the calendar.

Type what you know

Type a phone number, name or email in the search box. You can also set a From and To date.

Open the booking

Click a result to open it.

The buttons on the side open lists next to the calendar:
