Video tutorial coming soon
The written steps below are complete. Producing the video? Use the video script tab — it follows these steps one for one.
The calendar shows inspections, estimates, installs and follow-ups for every job. Appointments are colour-coded by type, canceled ones are struck through and completed ones are faded. On a phone it opens in list view.
Times are displayed in your computer's time zone, but homeowner messages use the company time zone set in Settings → Automations. A notice appears when the two differ.
By the end you can
- Switch between week, month and list
- Filter by person and show canceled visits
- Read the time-zone notice
