Booking Calendar: Calendar Settings
Groundhogg Booking Calendar provides various settings that allow calendar owners to manage their appointments efficiently and with ease.
General Settings
Booking Calendar contains distinct setting fields as general settings, which contains the owner of the calendar, name of calendar, and description of the calendar.
In the general section, a user needs to select the name and owner of the calendar, these fields are mandatory fields to enter.
Booking Calendar also includes functionality to create a custom form for the calendar.
Users can create forms based on their requirements using the Groundhogg funnel builder and set the custom form by setting a custom form option in the settings.
In some cases, additional notes are required to state the next action at this time and Default Note settings come in handy. Using this setting, the user can add a default note for the appointment whenever an appointment gets booked by the customer or admin.
Appointment Settings
Appointment settings are used to manage the time slots displayed to clients during the appointment booking process.
Show in 12-hour Format: Enabling this setting displays all the time slots in a 12 Hour time format instead of 24 Hour time format which is the default setting.
Length of Appointment: This value represents the length of a single appointment with the calendar owner. The default value for this field is 1 hour.
Buffer Time: This filed represents buffer time that is needed after an appointment is completed. The default value for this field is 0 minutes. Calendar owners can put buffer times up to 60 minutes between two appointments.
