# Understand your calendar key

## Find out what each colour and pattern on your calendar means, so you can see how your sessions are doing at a glance.

Your calendar uses colours and patterns to show how each session is doing at a glance. To open the key at any time, select the question mark icon next to the view menus at the top of your calendar.

Each session also shows the number of people booked and its capacity, for example 6/20.

**How booked a session is**

- **Grey:** unbooked time, with no bookings yet
- **Red:** under minimum bookings, so it hasn't reached the minimum you've set
- **Shades of blue:** less than 25%, 25–50%, 50–75% and above 75% booked. The darker the blue, the fuller the session
- **Green:** fully booked
- **Dark red:** overbooked

**Sessions customers can't book**

- **Striped:** manually disabled, so no further bookings can be made
- **Light grey:** past the minimum notice time, so it's too late to book online

**Staff and notes**

- **Pink:** time off, from Shiftie
- **Blue:** a shift, from Shiftie
- **Striped white:** unavailability, outside someone's shift
- **Cream:** an internal note

The Shiftie colours only appear if you've connected your Shiftie account.

**What the icons on a session mean**

Some sessions also show small icons, so you can spot what needs your attention without opening every booking. Hover over an icon to see exactly what it means.

- **Red icon:** a booking on the session is unpaid or has a balance outstanding
- **Warning triangle:** some disclaimers haven't been signed yet, or there are payments pending
- **Tick icon:** everyone on the session has checked in
- **Person icon:** not everyone on the session has checked in yet

 The check-in icons only appear if you use check-in, and only on sessions from today or earlier. Icons aren't shown in the monthly view and may be hidden on very short sessions, so open the session to see the full picture.

**Helpful tips:**

- Lots of red sessions? It may be worth promoting them, or combining quieter sessions
- Lots of green? You could add more sessions or capacity at your busiest times
- Use Advanced notices to keep underbooked sessions open for longer
- Look for red icons at the start of each day, so you can follow up on unpaid bookings before customers arrive
