So you might be wondering what “BETA” means….BETA in software lingo, means we have rolled out a new feature, but it’s not 100% complete.  The base functions are ready for public consumption, but we plan to work on this feature over the next few weeks.  Go ahead and use the new feature, but know that some things may change before the BETA label is removed.

Now that we have that out of the way, lets talk about “Week at a glance”.  The week at a glance feature was created to help you easily visualize holes in your schedule and see a graphical representation of any given week.  You will find the week dates across the top of the graph, with the times of day down the left hand side.  Your appointments appear as blocks of time (based on the service length) within each day’s column.  You will see the name of the client at the start of the appointment time as well.  You can find the new Week at a glance view by clicking the “Week at a glance” tab from the main scheduling screen.

As of right now, each time you click this tab, the calendar will refresh itself, and it will always start on the current day.  You can change which day the week view starts on by clicking in the “Select Start Date” box and selecting a new start date from the popup calendar.  You can also jump forward or backward a week by clicking the “Previous Week” and “Next Week” buttons found on the upper right hand side of the screen (see below):

Lastly, to help you see what time an appointment starts simply hover your mouse over the name of the client, and that row will highlight, showing you what time the appointment starts.  Notice the highlighted row turns a light red, and the start time of the appointment is highlighted on the far left hand side of the screen (see below):
