About AVAILACAL Availability Calendars
Each calendar is a real-time availability calendar
that shows the available and non-available dates for something. Available days or half days are shown in green, and days or half-days which
are not-available are shown in red. A customisable 'orange day' option can be added to signify a different situation such as an unconfirmed booking.
Calendars can easily be embedded into the body of your web pages like the example calendar shown on the right of this page, or they can be made to pop-up in a new window like this or like
this.
Simple to Set Up
Simplicity is a key feature of AVAILACAL calendars. They are designed to be as easy as possible to use and to understand. Please don't be daunted by
the wide range of configuration possibilities we offer. These options can make the calendars more versatile for certain situations but the
default settings will work fine for 99% of purposes. By following a few simple instructions, anybody
with a web page can set up one or even a few of our calendars in just a couple of minutes. If however for some reason you experience a problem our
email support will help you solve it in no time.
AVAILACAL calendars are optimised to block-in
days or half-days, weeks or months rather than specific times of the day. This makes our calendar system the quickest, easiest and most efficient way to share
availability information for a wide range of purposes.
We currently provide three main types of calendar display. They all use the same calendar database so they are completely interchangeble.
Each calendar in your account can be displayed using any one, two or all of the three types of display whenever you wish. A cut-and-paste script
from the support area will help you get your calendar displays up and running sooner than you might think.
1. Table based calendars - This style of calendar is delivered to web browsers as a standard web-page table. Table-based calendars display between two and
24 months in one view and they work perfectly with approximately 100% of internet browsers.
2. Flash based calendars (the ones with the rounded corners) - These calendars make great use of the Macromedia/Adobe Flash player plugin
(version 6 or later) now installed on over 99% of internet computers of all makes. The Flash calendars show one month at a time. To view the next month you
click the arrow button on the right of where the month and year is shown. Our Flash based calendars offer more customization options and can take
up less space on web pages than the table-based calendars but you can actually make them any size you wish.
3. WAP Calendars - These calendars use the wireless application protocol allowing your calendar(s) to be viewed and edited even on the
older WAP mobile phones with black and white displays.
The list is endless but shown here some of the people and industries that can benefit from having AVAILACAL online availability calendars...
