Introduction

The calendar is an interactive system that looks at contacts and Roster Work. It allows you to view, add and edit entries on the system.

There are currently two categories:

  • Roster job cards if you have the roster module - These are varying shades of pink depending on the status of the job card
  • Appointments, which are actually outstanding actions on the system - These are green

Appointments can be made by clicking on a timeslot on the calendar. This will create a new referral against the client with an outstanding action. Alternatively, you can add an outstanding action to an existing referral, with a planned duration. This will cause an appointment to show on the calendar.
