Calendars & Event Types
adminWhat are Calendars & Event Types Features?
Now we have a feature available in Saphyte CRM to schedule ‘Event Types’ based on our availability being configured in the ‘Calendars’ option. You can create your own Calendar, indicate your working hours and create one or multiple schedules to apply to your events. There is also an advance setting to restrict the event schedule to a specific date/dates with multiple time slots being applied/configured to schedule the availability/unavailability of the user.
Note: This feature will help the business entities having their appointments and events booked through their websites. We can map an online form for the appointments or events on their website with the Saphyte CRM workspace under Calendars and Event Types feature, schedule the availability/unavailability of the users and manage the appointments or events in an efficient manner.
