Changing Calendar Views
Choose the view that works best for you to manage the happenings of your business!
Zoom in on one specific day where you're juggling catering, large group reservation inquiries, social media outreach, and events. Or zoom out to a 7-day view to get a feel for how you are rolling out a multi-channel marketing promotion for restaurant week.
Switching Overall View Settings
SpotHopper's calendar view can be changed to three separate settings:
- 7-days
- 3-days
- 1-day
Change the overall view of the calendar by toggling the time toggle at the top right of the calendar page.
Changing the view will help you to focus in further on blasts, inquiries/bookings, specials, events, and blocked hours which may be on your calendar.
Tip: if you do not see the "7 day" view option on your calendar, then you need to decrease your browser's zoom settings or enlarge the size of your browser's window that is open.
Filtering What Appears
Too much clutter on the calendar page? Declutter by toggling the filters at the top of the page.
Once you select a filter, the according banners will then disappear from your view until you reselect the filter or refresh the page.
Below is what it looks like when deselecting a filter and making certain banners inactive. The example below is deactivating both the Facebook and Instagram filters.
Navigating Through the Calendar
If you'd like to navigate to past or future times on your calendar, toggle the left and right arrows at the top left of the screen.
To return to the present day, click the "Today" button in the middle of the left and right arrows.
