Dashboard calendar

See your year, month by month, in one place — every booking from every channel.

See your year, month by month, in one place — every booking from every channel, on a single calendar.

By the end of this guide, you'll know how to read your calendar, switch between year and month views, jump straight to a booking from any date, and tell direct bookings apart from imported ones at a glance.

Before you start

What you'll need

  • A property under Your setup → Places (or a service under Services)
  • ~5 minutes
  • A booking or two helps — empty calendars look the same in every view
What you'll achieve
  • Confidence reading the year overview
  • A shortcut to creating a booking from any free date
  • A way to spot iCal-imported bookings vs. direct ones

Step 1: Where the calendar lives

There are two ways into a calendar:

  • Calendar in the sidebar (under Account) — opens the full calendar page with the year/month toggle, year selector, and filters.
  • Dashboard — the page you land on after login. Year-only view of your default property, no toggles.

Both show the same data. Use Calendar when you want to drill into a specific month.

Step 2: Switch property or service

At the top of the Calendar page you'll see two controls:

  • A Places ↔ Services toggle — pick which type of resource you want to view.
  • A Select place / Select service dropdown — pick which one.

Bookings and seasonal pricing for the selected resource load below.

Step 3: Year view vs. Month view

Year view shows all 12 months on one screen as compact mini-calendars. Useful for spotting patterns ("what does July look like?") at a glance.

Month view shows one month full-size, with booking bars stretched across the dates each stay covers. Useful for actually working with a specific week.

The Month / Year toggle sits at the top of the page. Year view always works. Month view is desktop only for places — on mobile, the year view stays. Services always show in month view.

Step 4: Read the calendar

Each booking appears as a colored bar across the dates of the stay. The color tells you the source:

  • Dark green (default) — direct bookings made via your widget or entered manually.
  • Other colors (pink, blue, teal, orange, grey) — iCal-imported bookings inherit the color you chose when you connected each calendar.

Days with a price set are bookable. Days where the price is 0 are unavailable and show with a strikethrough — same rule as in availability calendar.

The number on the last day of a booking bar is the total amount; on the first day, it's the guest count.

Step 5: Open or create a booking

  • Click a booking bar → opens that booking's detail page.
  • Click an empty date → starts a new booking with that date pre-filled.

Step 6: Year selector and earnings (places only)

Above the calendar, a year dropdown lets you jump between years (current year ± 2). When the chosen year has any bookings or payments, an earnings panel renders above the grid showing year-to-date earnings and a sources breakdown — handy to see how much came direct vs. through other channels.

Mobile

On phones, the Places calendar always shows the year view — month view is hidden by design (a single month doesn't fit comfortably on a small screen). Services calendars show month view only on every device.

What guests see

Guests don't see this calendar. They see only their own widget — bookable dates available, taken dates blocked. Source colors are admin-only.
