The schedule
Every item and numbered unit on one timeline - reserved, picked up, late, repairs and time between rentals - so nothing is booked twice.
Schedule shows your rental items down the side and time across the top. Every order that holds items is a bar on them.
Reading the schedule
| Bar | Means |
|---|---|
| Blue | Reserved |
| Amber | Picked up |
| Red | Late - not back by the return time; the bar runs on to now |
| Dashed | Held online - a customer is paying in your online store |
| Grey stripes | Repair - the unit can't be booked |
| Light tail after a bar | Time kept free between rentals |
Choose Day, Week, 2 weeks or Month. Items with numbered units open to one row per unit, and a count row shows how many are held of how many you own for each day. Tick Show past to see returned rentals too.
Work on the schedule
- Click a bar to see the order in a side panel and open it.
- Click or drag on an empty part of an item's row to start a new rental for that item and those times.
- Drag a reserved bar to move the order to other times, or drag its right edge to change the return time (on a computer). If the items are not free, the bar goes back and you see why.
On a phone the schedule is a small timeline in its own box, with a day-by-day list under it.
Is it free?
To check a few items quickly, click What's free? on the schedule: pick the items, the From and to times and How many, and Rental shows what is free and why not - booked, in repair, closed or time between rentals. The same check runs on every order line as you type.
