Customer calendar overview
The Customer Calendar is a Gantt-style view of bookings by Customer, a bar chart that illustrates a schedule.
Each booking is represented by the Customer's name, booking status (color), and spans the number of days for the booking.
|
Nightly allocation If you have configured your item with a nightly allocation, the booking overlaps slightly with the day following the last day of the booking (see the image below). This represents the check-out day that is not part of the paid booking. That day is still available for somebody else to book. |
