Reading a booking

Each block shows the customer, the services and the time. Its colour follows the status: Booked, Confirmed, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled or No Show. A small note icon means the booking carries a note. Blocked time and closed days are shaded across the column.

A column headed Unassigned holds bookings that have no team member yet. Drag them onto a column to assign someone.
