Guides - Back-end: Calendar views

Back-end: Calendar views

Under 'Calendar views' you can change settings that affect how your calendars are shown. The settings are changed by ticking (the feature is activated) or unticking (the feature is disabled) the box opposite the setting you want to change. Afterwards, press ‘Update' located at the bottom of the page.

You have the following options:

  • Show only active calendars: If this box is ticked, only active calendars will be shown in the daily/weekly/monthly view. The calendars will, however, always be shown in the overview through employee/calendar login and direct link to the calendar. This function is by default not activated, meaning that inactive calendars are likewise shown.
  • Place restrictions when moving bookings: By ticking this box, you can here choose to place restrictions on the movement of bookings. This means that the booking can only be moved if time, resources, personnel, etc. permit it to be moved.
  • Show icon - Important note: You can determine whether an 'Important icon' should be shown on the bookings. The icon is shown when a note has been written on the booking or if an important note has been written on the customer profile of the customer to whom the booking belongs. The feature is activated by default.

  • Set the shown time frame on the calendar: Here you choose which time frame you want to have shown in your calendar. The time frame range from 00 to 24 and you can e.g. choose only to show from 8 to 16. 
  • Snap to closest: There are three intervals avalilable, 5, 15 and 30 minutes. When you choose one interval you determine in which interval the booking should begin, whenever a new booking has been made directly in the calendar. If you choose the interval '15 min.' the starttime of the booking will be 10.00 if the pointer is between 10 and 10.15. So when choosing the 15 min. interval will make the booking snap to the nearest 15 min. interval. 
  • Resize interval: Here you can choose the how much a booking can be extended/reduced when using drag-to-resize. You can choose between 5 or 15 minute intervals. The 5 minute interval has been chosen by default. E.g. if a booking ends 09.10 and wish to extend this using the 15 minute drag-to-resize interval, the next time the booking will snap/move to is 09.25.

  • Set the text shown on a booking: Here you enter what information you want to see on a given booking by copying a substitution code into the space between the already existing <div> and </div> columns, for example: <div class='cev__section'>[YDELSENAVN]</div>. (See Substitution codes for more information)

Simply insert an optional substitution code into the space between the existing <div> and </div> columns to determine this.

Please note! The above-mentioned boxes in the Advanced view 2.2 are by default already completed and set to display various information. Therefore, if you are happy with the information displayed in your calendar, you do not have to edit these boxes.


Please note that the more information shown in the booking box, the more chaotic it will be. Remember that you always have the option of being transferred to the specific booking to see all information about the booking in question (See Specific booking for more information).
