A clear guide to your scheduling dashboard.

DASHBOARD BASICS

Where to find things

The admin dashboard is your control center for the booking page and appointments. Sign in with an admin account to open it.

FIRST-TIME SETUP

Get your booking page ready

Complete these steps before sharing a booking link with guests.

1. 1

   Add your business details

   In Settings, enter the business name, contact email, and correct time zone. The time zone determines how your availability is interpreted and how times appear in the dashboard.

2. 2

   Set your regular hours

   In Availability, add one or more time windows for each day you take appointments, then save. Leave a day empty if you are not available that day.

3. 3

   Create an appointment type

   In Appointment types, choose what guests can book and set its length, start-time spacing, notice, and other booking rules. Keep the type active to accept bookings for it.

4. 4

   Copy and share its link

   Copy the link from the appointment type card and share it on your website, in a message, or wherever guests should book. Open the link to review the public page.

You can pause all new public bookings in Settings. Pausing does not remove appointments that are already booked.

OVERVIEW

Read your dashboard summary

The Overview page summarizes the current calendar month in your business time zone and gives you a quick path to common setup tasks.

• Appointments: All appointments in the current month, including cancelled ones.
• Upcoming: Confirmed appointments that have not ended yet during the rest of the current month.
• Guests: The number of different guest email addresses with confirmed appointments this month.
• Active appointment types: How many appointment types are currently active, out of the total you have created.

The upcoming list shows up to five appointments. Choose View all to open the full appointments list. The weekly hours card shows the total hours in your recurring schedule.

APPOINTMENT TYPES

Choose what guests can book

Each appointment type has its own public page and booking link. Create separate types for different meeting formats or lengths.

• Title, description, and location: Use a clear title. Add a description and location so guests know what the appointment is for and where it will take place.
• Duration: How long the appointment itself lasts.
• Start-time interval: How often a new start time is offered. For example, a 15-minute interval can offer starts at 9:00, 9:15, and 9:30 when those times fit your schedule.
• Before and after buffers: Reserve time around each appointment so another booking is not placed too close before or after it.
• Minimum notice and booking horizon: Set how soon a guest may book and how far ahead the calendar is open for booking.
• Active switch: An active type can receive bookings when the business is also accepting bookings. Turn it off to stop new bookings for just that type.

After saving, use Copy link on the type card to share its booking page. The link is only available for active types while business bookings are enabled.

AVAILABILITY

Set weekly hours and one-off changes

The booking page offers times that fit the weekly schedule or date override, appointment length and buffers, minimum notice, booking horizon, and existing appointments.

APPOINTMENTS

Find a booking and its guest details

1. 1

   Choose a date range

   The list opens on the current month. Choose From and To dates and apply them to view another period. You can load up to 31 days at a time; the displayed schedule uses your business time zone.

2. 2

   Search or filter the list

   Search by appointment title, guest name, or email. Use the status buttons to show all, confirmed, completed, or cancelled appointments. Completed means a confirmed appointment whose end time has passed.

3. 3

   Open appointment details

   Select the arrow at the end of a row to see the date, time, time zone, guest email and phone (when provided), location, and booking reference. Select the email or phone number to contact the guest.

Use Refresh to reload the selected date range. Guests can cancel from the link in their confirmation email; they must confirm the cancellation on the page that opens.

SETTINGS AND TEAM

Manage your business and admin access

• Business name and contact email: These details are shown on public booking pages. The business booking address is displayed here; each appointment type adds its own link to that address.
• Time zone: Weekly hours and date overrides use this time zone. Existing appointments keep the time they were booked for.
• Accepting bookings: Turn this off to pause new bookings for every appointment type. Turn it on again to resume. Existing appointments remain in the calendar.
• Admins: Add a trusted admin with their name, email, and a temporary password. The new admin needs to verify their email before signing in. You can resend the verification email, remove their admin access, or delete their account.

Removing admin access changes the account to a regular user; it does not delete the account. Deleting an account is permanent. Share temporary passwords securely.
