How does the dashboard calendar work?

The dashboard calendar is one of the most important features in our dashboard and the majority of our clients use the calendar on a daily base! 

In this article you will find all the important features of our dashboard calendar. 

 

In your dashboard calendar, you can switch between different views to optimize it for your business. 

You have the option to switch between a daily view, weekly view and monthly view. 

In addition to the different views, the appointments of the past are displayed in a lighter color. This helps you to see which appointments are next with a brief look. 

 

Just like you can chose between either the weekly or monthly view you have the choice between a detailed and compact view of your calendar.

The detailed view includes the following information from your offer: 

The compact view shows you the start time of the offer only. 

 

If you only want to display the appointments concerning your bookings, you can tick "display bookings only" on top of your calendar. 

If you don’t need to use the navigation of your dashboard, you can easily hide it to see your calendar in full screen. Moreover, it is possible to scroll endlessly while the date display remains static to ensure a good overview at all times . 
You can find a lot of new functions and options on top of your calendar view which enable you to focus on your next appointments!

 

The different kinds of view of step 1 and 2 are the most used ones of the calendar. But we also offer you a table and resource view. In addition, you have the possibility to integrate your availabilities in iCal-compatible calendars, including Outlook, Google Calendar and other programs.

 

Choosing the table view, you only see the next appointments as a list. There, you can change the capacity and have a good overview of the number of bookings. 

The resource view allows you to see how many resources are in use, how many are free and to which booking they belong by simply clicking on the corresponding cell.  When you scroll down, the name of the resource sticks to the top of the calendar to guarantee you a good overview.

 

Move and re-order your resources in your calendar per drag and drop

In comparison to the other types of view, the integration with the iCal calendar is a little bit more complicated. For this reason, we created an additional knowledge base article about the integration via iCal.

To get more information about your appointment, you can easily click on it to open a pop up with all details at a glance. In this view you can see the following information:

 

You will also find quick access to your regular functions such as:

- Add booking 
- View participants
- Alter appointment 
- Cancel appointment.

Furthermore, you can assign a tour to one of your guides or have fast access to the list of participants.

A running tour and activity business needs a lot of information to delight its customers. Therefore, it is important for you and your employees to have quick access to relevant booking information. When you run guided city tours, for example, it is important to let your guides know about a customer's special need or preference. For these cases, we developed a new connection between the notes you can add to individual bookings and the calendar. Now, the calendar displays the aggregated booking notes when you mouse over the top right corner of the appointment.

To create a booking note, go to your bookings and simply enter it. If you want to activate or deactivate the notes you just have to go to your calendar settings to do so.

You can adjust different settings for your calendar. Firstly, you have the choice to display assignees and booking notes or not. Additionally, you can modify every color of your dashboard calendar. 

Which colors can be modified?
