Calendar tabs

The Booking Calendar has 2 main tab: Overview and Detais.

Overview

Shows a general picture of your bookings across all your camping zones. For every day you can see how many of your pitches are booked and how many are free. On this example, you can see that for December 22nd, Zone A have 1 pitch booked and 2 available, and Zone G have 0 pitches booked and 5 available:

Details

This tab show all your individual bookings in details. Each card on the calendar represents a booking. If your camping zone has marked pitches, you will see one row per pitch, grouped by their respective camping zone. You can scroll horizontally to see other dates, or use the calendar option to move to a different date.

View options

When clicking on the calendar, you will see 2 different view modes: Week or Day to day. That can be used to define if you want to see your calendar for a period of entire week (from Monday to Sunday), or for every 2 days in a row.

Booking details

To see the details of a booking, go the Details tab and click on the booking you want to see the details. You will see a summary of the booking with the most relevant information (like guest name, their license plate, etc). You can click on View details if you want to see all the information of the booking.

Editing/cancelling a booking

To edit or cancel a booking, go the Details tab and click on the booking you want to change or cancel. Then click on Edit booking and choose which information of the booking you want to change, click on Cancel booking to cancel it.

Creating a new booking

There are 2 ways of creating a new guest booking for your campers: either by clicking on the + sign on the top right corner of the Booking Calendar, or by clicking on any empty space on your calendar. When using this last option the camping zone, pitch and checkin dates will be pre-filled, but you can change them before confirming the booking.
