Who this is for

You want your diary at a glance — everything Scarlett has booked, laid out on a calendar, in step with the calendar you already use.

Time: 5 minutes. You'll need: to be signed in.

Steps

1. Read your diary

Open Calendar in the menu.

• On a computer, pick Day, Week or Month. The day and week views run from 7am to 7pm. Use ‹ › and Today to move about.
• On a phone, it opens on the whole month. Each job is a coloured bar with the customer's name, and today is circled. Swipe sideways for the next or last month, and tap a day to see it hour by hour.

Tap a job to open it.

2. Book a job yourself

On a computer press + New appointment; on a phone tap the round + in the bottom corner. Fill in the customer, Service, Date, Time and Duration, and if you like a Colour and Tags, then press Save booking. If Google Calendar is connected, the booking goes into it too.

3. Choose when Scarlett may book

Press Booking windows.

• Booking hours — the times Scarlett may offer appointments. Leave it as your opening hours, or set different ones.
• Block out time — whole days or part of a day she must never offer, with a note if you like. Tick to block it in your Google Calendar as well.

The owner or a manager sets these. You'll find the same settings in Train Scarlett → Business, under Hours.

4. Keep it in sync

The strip on the Calendar shows Google Calendar. Connect it from Integrations and new bookings go into your Google Calendar, while Scarlett works around anything already in it. If you share other calendars with that Google account, an owner or manager can add them under Calendars ▾ → + Add another calendar so their busy time counts too.

Outlook calendar is coming soon.

Verify it worked

Jobs Scarlett has booked appear in the diary, and — once Google is connected — the same bookings show in your Google Calendar.

Troubleshooting

Dragging a job to another time doesn't move it. Moving a booking by dragging isn't switched on yet, even though the week view mentions it.

My calendar isn't syncing. Check it's connected on the Integrations page — the strip on the Calendar shows a Connect button when it isn't.

I moved an event in Google and the job didn't move. Sync goes one way: bookings go from Scarlett into Google, but a change made in Google doesn't move the job.

What's next

• Track jobs from enquiry to done — the jobs behind the bookings.
• Connect your calendar and accounting — set up Google Calendar sync.
