How do I turn on the new Timely calendar?

Features of the new calendar:

• Bookings update automatically
  The new Timely calendar updates your bookings instantly, so your schedule is always up-to-date.This help you avoid double bookings and manage changes in real-time without needing to refresh your calendar manually.
   

• Simplified Navigation
  Enjoy a cleaner layout, improved icons, and faster access to key Timely functions quicker, and navigate between bookings effortlessly.
   

• Ability to jump to the right date easily
  We’ve reduced the number of clicks needed in order to navigate to a particular date. We’ve also added more options to jump forward by a number of weeks so it’s much easier to get where you need.
   

• Easily add parallel bookings at busy times
  You can now view multiple bookings side-by-side in a single view, which helps manage overlapping appointments for multiple staff or services without confusion. To add a parallel booking, click the gap next to the client's booking at the time you want to make the appointment. Then click add appointment details and then add in all the new appointment's details.
   

• Refreshed staff columns
  Staff members' schedules are displayed more clearly with improved column layouts. This allows you to easily track team availability and optimise appointment slots. Staff columns now show your team's profile picture. With this change, we have introduced a new drop down that allows you to:
   

  • Edit staff working hours.
  • Switch between day and week views.
  • Edit staff profiles.
     

• Quickly add booking notes
  Click on the appointment and you will see a quick access menu, select add note, type what you need to remember for that client and click save.
