Over the last couple month we have been fine-tuning the system and adding a new Ajax component into the booking process. This will improve calendar speed, especially for those using a lot of "Schedules" in their calendars. This will not change how the calendar looks or works, it just makes it faster.

Another great improvement that comes with the AJAX application is the ability to block out your available times with clicking on the "Lock" (only for "Administrators" and "Booking Agents"), rather than making dummy bookings. This will significantly speed up your schedule changes.
How will this work?
Logged in as the "Vendor" or "Agent" you will see a lock next to each available time. By clicking on the lock, you will be able to lock one or multiple time-blocks, adding a note for yourself. The customer will not be able to book these time-blocks, however, you as the administrator or agent still can book an appointment for the blocked times.

The process of booking existing customers has been changed as well. We eliminated the pop-up screen to search for customers. Now you can simply enter the first three letters of the customers "first or last name" and you will see a list of possible customers to be selected from a drop down.

We hope that you find these upgrades helpful and time-saving.
Thank you,
