Calendars and opening hours

A calendar sets when customers can book a service. Xanti divides the opening hours of the calendar into time slots with the length of the service. So a 30-minute service with opening hours from 9:00 to 12:00 gives six times to choose from.

After saving, you see how many appointments are possible in this calendar in the coming months. With the Make appointment button, you try out booking yourself right away. Is there a red message saying no appointment is possible? Then check the opening hours and the period.

Do several resources work with the same service? Then create a calendar for that service for each resource. The customer sees the free times of all of them and can choose No preference or a particular resource.

You cannot delete a calendar in which appointments have already been made. Do you want to stop using a calendar? Then fill in a Date end.
