Use the calendar

The calendar shows your resources side by side, one column each. Open it from Bookings → Calendar in the sidebar. You need at least one resource first. See Resources and hours.

#Views

Switch views in the toolbar. Nola remembers your last view on this device.

Use the arrows or Today to move between days, or click the date to pick one. Legend explains the booking colours.

#Create a booking

1. In Day view, drag down an empty area of a column to cover the time you want. In Week view, click an empty slot.
2. The Add booking window opens with the resource and time filled in.
3. Choose the Service. Pick a Client, or leave it on Walk-in / no client record.
4. Adjust Party size, Duration and any rentals under Add-ons (rentals), then add Notes if needed.
5. Click Create booking.

New booking (or N) starts at the next slot. The booking is confirmed straight away, unless manual approval is on under Services → Rules.

On a phone, tap the start slot and then the end slot. Tap the same slot twice for a single slot. Use the resource chips above the grid to switch columns.
