Usage

Managing Customer Appointments
- Viewing the Calendar: Navigate to the Customer Calendar tab within a project or via the top menu to view scheduled customer appointments.
- Adding Appointments: Click on available days on the calendar grid to schedule a new appointment (restricted by user permissions, working days, and configured holidays).
- Editing & Deleting: Existing appointments can be modified or removed directly from the calendar interface depending on user privileges.
- My Page Integration: Users can add the Upcoming Appointments block to their personal My Page dashboard to track their schedule at a glance.
Holidays and Non-Working Days Administrators can manage the holiday calendar to prevent appointments from being scheduled on non-working days.
- Go to Administration -> Holidays (or the corresponding holidays menu item).
- Fixed Holidays: Set specific dates (e.g., December 25th) that recur annually or apply to a single year.
- Dynamic Holidays: Configure rules for floating holidays (e.g., the 1st Monday of September).
- Validation: The system automatically blocks appointment creation on standard weekends, non-working days, and defined holidays.
Permissions & Global Access Appointment permissions are configured globally to apply system-wide:
1. Navigate to Administration -> Roles and permissions.
2. Scroll to the global permissions section.
3. Assign the following permissions as needed based on user roles (such as Non-member or custom staff roles):
  - View customer appointments
  - Add customer appointments
  - Edit customer appointments
  - Delete customer appointments
