Welcome to the heart of anny. The calender.

This is where all your resources and all bookings that are made with you come together.


First click on the calendar tab in the Admin menu on the left to open the calendar view. There you will see all your created resources listed in columns.

On the top right you can change your calendar view at any time.

Here you can choose from these views:

  • Daily

  • Weekly

  • Monthly

  • Timeline


Timeline-View

With the timeline view, your resources move to the left side.

The timeline view is mostly interesting for resources that are available multiple times with allocation.

Resources that are available multiple times with allocation, such as 20 workstations, can be expanded on the left in your listing with a small "+" to display each individual workstation. This gives you an exact overview of which workstations are occupied or available.


How to create your own booking

Click and drag your mouse over the period in which you want to create your bookings manually.

A menu with the options "Create booking", "Create blocker" and "Create availability" opens up.

Click on Create booking. A dialog window opens, in which you can create a booking, as well as via the booking page, but you can also bypass your own rules as an admin.


How to create a blocker

You have times when you can not perceive bookings? Then you can create blockers in the calendar.

Click and drag your mouse over the period in which you want to create your blocker.

A menu opens with following options "Create booking", "Create blocker" and "Create availability". Click on Create blocker. You can then give this blocker a name.


What's the Planner for? Create your availabilities!

To plan availabilities, click on "Planner" in the upper right corner to open the planner mode.

As with bookings and blockers, you can create availabilities by clicking and dragging your mouse in the calender. A menu opens with the options "Create booking", "Create blocker" and "Create availability". Click on Create availability.

Note: You can only create availabilities for resources that use irregular schedules.


Synchronization of external calendars

You can synchronize external calenders. Go to "How to synchronize my external calender" to learn more.

You have synchronized external calendars with an anny resource? Then appointments appear in the anny calendar as blockers or bookings.
