How to
Use the calendar: add, move and block time
The calendar shows your day or week with the drive time between visits. Add a booking, move one, or block time off, all from the same screen.
Which plan
On every plan. Lite shows the fixed travel gap you set between bookings. Pro shows road-based drive times.
What customers see
A customer you book in gets a confirmation email if you add their email address. When you move a booking, you choose whether to email them the new time.
Set it up
Step 1: Open the calendar
Go to Bookings. Switch between Day and Week, move with the arrows, or press Today. Drive time shows between visits, along with Back to base.
Step 2: Add a booking
Tap an empty time, or press New booking. Search for an existing customer or fill in Customer name, Phone and Email. Choose the Service, add the address, pick a Date and one of the times that fit, then press Create booking.
Adding a booking from the calendar. Recorded with example data. Step 3: Book outside your usual rules
If you're the owner, tick Override to book any date and time, even outside your hours, during time off or over another booking. You see what's being overridden before it's saved, then press Book anyway. With Checks before booking on, a customer without an in-date pass is pointed out the same way, and Book anyway goes ahead.
Step 4: Move a booking
Drag the booking to a new time, or open it and press Reschedule. In Confirm reschedule, CalMov checks the new time and tells you "Fits, including the drive" or "This time doesn't fit", and warns you if a check wouldn't be passed by the new time. Tick or untick the email to the customer, then press Confirm.
Moving a booking to another time. Recorded with example data. Step 5: Block time off
Open the calendar's menu and choose Add time off. Set From date and To date, keep All day or set times, add a Label (optional) and press Save time off.
Step 6: Open a booking
Tap a booking to see the service, when, where, travel and contact details, with Directions. Press "Full booking details & payments" for everything else. With Visit records on, Start job is here on the day.
Common questions
What happens if I move a booking to a time that doesn't fit?
CalMov tells you why it doesn't fit, including the drive. The owner can still move it with Override by pressing Move anyway.
Is the customer told when I move their booking?
That's your choice. Confirm reschedule has a tick box to email the customer the new time.
Does CalMov plan my route for the day?
No. It doesn't reorder your day. It shows the drive between visits and checks that each new or moved booking fits, including the journey.
Why can't I change a block marked busy?
It comes from your connected calendar, such as Google Calendar. Change it there. Customers can't book that time.
Can I add a booking for a customer with no email?
Yes. Add a phone number, an email, or both. Without an email, the customer won't get a confirmation email.
Can I add a customer without a booking?
No. A customer record is created by their first booking, whether they book online or you add it from the calendar. Customers lists everyone who has booked.
