Calendar

The calendar shows all requests, stays, blocks and bookings from other sites on a timeline, one section per property. You see at once which requests overlap each other or taken dates.

How to read the calendar

Look	Meaning
Solid bar with ✓	A confirmed stay.
Striped bar with a clock	The stay waits for the deposit; the dates are held until the payment.
Dashed outline with a speech bubble	A request (or a stay waiting for the payment without holding the dates). It does not block the dates.
Grey bar with a lock	A block.
Light bar with an arrow	A booking from another site (import).
Warning triangle and "overlaps …"	The entry shares a night with another entry. The later request, or the request under taken dates, always carries the mark.
Faded entry	The departure has passed.

Today has a frame in the brand colour.

Moving and filters

• The arrows ‹ and › move the view by 4 weeks; Today returns to the current day. The shown dates are next to them.
• The bars show the guest's name and the number of guests. Open the colour legend with Legend above the calendar.
• If you have more than one property, choose one in Property.
• List shows the same entries day by day. On a phone you always see the list.

Add a booking or a block from the calendar

1. In the Timeline view, click a free arrival day in the property's row, then the departure day. You can also use the arrow keys and Enter.
2. The selected dates show under the timeline. Click Add booking (the form for a booking taken outside LocalBook, with the dates filled in) or Block dates.
3. If some selected nights are taken, you see who takes them and can open that stay or pick other days.

You can also add a booking with Add booking next to the page title.

A guesthouse with rooms

If you rent the property by rooms (the Rooms tab of the property), the calendar shows the rooms grouped by type:

• Next to the type, the number for each day is the free rooms. Click the type to fold or unfold its rooms.
• Each room has its own row — a booking or a block picked on a room's row is for that room.
• The To assign row shows requests that have no room yet.

Before you confirm a stay (or hold the dates with a deposit), assign a room: click the entry, choose the room in the details and click Assign room. Rooms taken on those days are listed but cannot be chosen. The same moves a stay to another room.

Deciding from the calendar

1. Click an entry.
2. The details open on the right (on a phone, below the list): the guest's details, the message and the status.
3. Use the same buttons as in the Requests list: confirm, ask for a deposit, reject, cancel, mark the payment, change the payment deadline or release the dates.

The calendar refreshes after each decision. Change a block on the property page, and a booking from another site on that site.
