The Calendar allows you to view and manage all properties, rooms, prices and availability and restrictions in one central place.

The fully customizable Dynamic Multi-Calendar with drag & drop function allows you to store save multiple views so you can access them later.

The Dynamic Multi-Calendar is only available in the new control panel. If you have not yet switched to the new control panel you can do this in (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT > PREFERENCES.
