The calendar is your workshop diary. Each entry is an appointment (usually tied to a jobcard, though standalone appointments work too), so you can see at a glance what vehicles are coming in and when. Appointments also appear on the workflow board and on the technician's job sheet, so the whole team stays in sync from a single booking.
Switch views
Open Calendar from the sidebar. Use the Month, Week, and Day tabs to change how much of the diary you see. Click Today at any time to jump back to the current date.
Book an appointment
You can create an appointment from the calendar itself or from inside a jobcard.
From the calendar:
Click a date or time slot
Click any day (or time slot in Week/Day view). A chooser opens asking what you'd like to create.
Choose what to create
Pick New Appointment for a standalone booking, or New Jobcard to create a jobcard booked in on this date.
Set the time and save
Confirm the date and times, then click Schedule (or create the jobcard).
From a jobcard:
Open the jobcard, go to the Appointments tab, and click New Appointment. Fill in the date and times, then click Schedule. The appointment appears on the calendar straight away.
Wherever you create an appointment, it shows up in both places — on the calendar and on the jobcard's Appointments tab. It also appears on the workflow board card and on the technician's job sheet as the booked-in date.
Reschedule or cancel an appointment
Click the appointment on the calendar to open its linked jobcard, then go to the Appointments tab. Use the pencil icon to change the date and time, or the bin icon to delete the appointment entirely. If you change the date or time, Pistonlog offers to send the customer an amendment notice.
You can also open the appointment from the jobcard's Appointments tab if that's where you are already.
Who can use the calendar
The calendar is available to Owner, Manager, and Reception roles. Technicians can't see appointments — the Calendar page shows them no bookings, and the Appointments tab on a jobcard is hidden from them. They work from their assigned jobcards via My Work.
Configure your working hours
Your working days and hours are set up separately. See Calendar settings for how to configure those.
