The calendar: your whole book at a glance
The calendar is the visual view of everything on your books. Where the Events list is a working table, the calendar is the diary on the wall: month, week, and day views, colour-coded by status, with each booking showing the times the way an operator reads them. It's the fastest way to see what's on this weekend, spot a clash, or pencil something in.
This article covers the views, what the event chips show, filtering, the hover preview, and moving bookings around.
Open the calendar
Open Calendar in the sidebar (it sits next to Events). It opens on the month view by default and remembers the view you last used. The buttons at the top switch between Month, Week, and Day, and Today jumps you back to the current date.
Reading the chips
Every booking is a chip coloured by its status, so the shape of your book reads at a glance:
- Enquiry is red.
- Tentative is a soft orange (pencilled in, holding the date).
- Confirmed is green.
- Completed is grey.
Cancelled events are left off the calendar entirely. By default each chip leads with its start and end time, Google-calendar style, so a timed event reads like a diary entry. An event with no times set shows as an all-day entry.
Choosing what the chips show
A Display dropdown in the toolbar lets you add detail to the chips beyond the name. Toggle on start and end times (on by default), pax, the Space, and the event value, so you can tune the calendar to show exactly what you care about. Your choices stick between visits.
Filtering
Two filters keep a busy calendar readable:
- Status. The checkboxes at the top right double as the colour legend. Untick a status (say, Enquiry) to hide those events and focus on what's confirmed.
- Spaces. When you have more than one Space, a Spaces dropdown appears in the toolbar. Tick the rooms you want to see, or use All Spaces to show everything. Events with no Space assigned show under Unassigned, so nothing is hidden by accident.
The hover preview
Hover over any event (on a device with a mouse) and a preview card appears with the detail you'd otherwise have to open the event to see: the date and time, the access and vacate window, the Space and zone, the pax (with the guaranteed figure), the client and organiser, and the event value. An Open run of show link takes you straight into the booking. It's enough to answer "what's this one?" without leaving the calendar.
Moving and creating bookings
The calendar isn't just for looking:
- Drag a booking to another day to reschedule it.
- Drag it onto another Space's row to move it to a different room.
- Click an empty day to start a new event on that date; a form opens right there, and the new booking lands on the calendar when you save.
Completed and cancelled events can't be dragged, since they've already happened. (Resizing a chip to change its length isn't supported; open the event to change its times.)
Putting it on your own calendar
The calendar in 1pm is the working view. If you also want your bookings to appear in Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar alongside the rest of your week, 1pm publishes a one-way feed you can subscribe to. That's a separate feature, covered in Sync your bookings to Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar.
