Displaying Custom Fields on the Booking Calendar

Displaying Custom Fields on the Booking Calendar

By default, the booking calendar shows basic information about the booking, such as the purpose and destination.

You can create and select individual custom fields to display on the booking calendar.

How to Display Custom Fields on the Calendar

By default, the Application Setting to show custom field values on the booking calendar is disabled. It can be enabled by going to System Admin menu > Application Settings > Calendar and finding the text "Bookings on the calendar should display values of custom fields". Set this Yes, scroll down and click the Save button.

Note this will now show every custom field on the calendar.

How To Display Only Certain Fields

Once the Application Setting is set to Yes (above), you can show or hide individual custom field values on the calendar.

From the System Admin menu, click Booking Form Custom Fields which is found under the System Data heading.

Locate the field you wish to hide, click Edit, tick or untick the box where it says "Display on Calendar?" and click the Save button.

Please note - 

• If you had already enabled Bookings on the calendar should display values of custom fields prior to v8.3.1 (March 2018) then by default all custom fields will be set to YES (show on calendar). To hide individual fields you will need to edit then untick the ones you want to hide.

• If you have enabled Bookings on the calendar should display values of custom fields after  v8.3.1 (March 2018) then by default all custom fields will be set to hidden. To show individual fields you will need to edit then tick the ones you want to show.

Hiding the Purpose and Destination field on the Booking Form

Once you have Custom Fields created, you might want to hide the default Purpose and Destination field from the Booking Form.

To do this, navigate to Application Settings - Booking form and select Yes to the Hide ‘Purpose and Destination’ field on the booking form

Booking Receipt Emails

This setting does not apply to Booking Receipt Emails. All custom field values are emailed to the booking holder even if fields are hidden.
