This area allows you to define the settings for your diary. It contains the following:
- Did Not Arrive colour. This selects the colour that the appointment turns when you select DNA from the appointment options in the diary. Click on the coloured box, then select a colour from the palate of available colours.
- Arrived Appointment colour. This selects the colour that the appointment turns when you select Arrived from the appointment options in the diary. Click on the coloured box, then select a colour from the palate of available colours.
- Calendar divisions. This sets the length of the timeslot on the diary. Select an option from the drop down list.
- Calendar refresh interval. The calendar updates itself automatically from the database periodically. The setting sets the length of time between updates. A smaller interval will decrease the likelihood of missing changes made by another user, but will increase the load on the server and may slow performance. Select an option from the drop down list.
- Default view. Sets the view (Week, Day or Month) that first shows when the diary page is loaded. Select an option from the drop down list.
- Diary Slot Height & Font size. These options enable you to adjust the slot height and the font size on the appointments in the diary. This is particularly useful for those who find the smaller font hard to read. Adjust the sizes to suit your team. The default settings are 20px for the slot height and 10px for the font height if you want to reset.
- Start time and End time select the first and last time visible on the calendar respectively. Select an option from the drop down list. We recommend setting it 30-60 minutes earlier and later than your start and finish times to allow for bookings outside of normal hours.
- Name order. Use this option to select the order you want names to show on the appointments in the diary. The default is "Last name, First name", but you can choose "First name Last name" instead with this option.
If you have made any changes on the settings be sure to click save to update the system, otherwise the changes will be lost.
