What is it and what is it for?
The Appointment Calendar is a digital calendar that allows you to manage schedules and appointments.
The calendar supports simultaneous collaboration, allowing multiple users to work on it concurrently. Administrators have the privilege to maintain and manage the calendar, while employees can conveniently access their schedules and view bookings. This centralized system stores all the existing bookings and events, which are created by the administrator using the Appointment Calendar feature, as well as by customers through the convenient Online Booking widget.
Getting started
Prior to starting work with the calendar, it is crucial to ensure that the setup process has been completed. This involves adding necessary services, staff, and resources to the system and establishing a comprehensive work schedule.
To go to the Appointment Calendar, select a date from the calendar at the top of the main menu.
