Scheduling

[Julie]

We are currently converting our current website over to a Word Press website and I’m looking to replace our current calendar software. We purchased our current product 10+ years ago (www.serviceu.com which is now fellowshipone.com)

I like many of the features of our current calendar but is a little behind the times in some areas. Quick questions:

– Does your calendar have the functionality to include “set up and tear down” times that can be added to the front and back end of an event (but doesn’t show that publicly but just behind the scenes?) (to prevent doublebooking meetings/events??)
– Does you calendar have the capability of checking to make sure locations/meeting rooms/resources (or venues) are not being double-booked? Does it show conflicts as you set up meetings?
-Can you add as many resources to the calendar as you want?
-Are you limited in any way the number of resources you can attach to an event? For example, for a wedding booking, we need to book the Church, Bride’s Room, Meeting Rm 1 & 2 for the timeframe specified. So in essence, can I add all of those resources to that one booking? And if so, if I try to book another event for within the same

Do you offer a free trial version of the Pro?

Thank you!

Good evening Julie and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us and for your interest in our products.

I would love to answer your questions:

– Does your calendar have the functionality to include “set up and tear down” times that can be added to the front and back end of an event (but doesn’t show that publicly but just behind the scenes?) (to prevent doublebooking meetings/events??)

You have complete control of the visibility of an event (just like any WordPress page or post), they can be public, private and even based on user roles.

That way you could have a combination of public and limited access events which would prevent double-booking.

– Does you calendar have the capability of checking to make sure locations/meeting rooms/resources (or venues) are not being double-booked? Does it show conflicts as you set up meetings?

Out of the box, unfortunately, our calendar is not a ressource/venue booking tool. It is more event focused.

But, we do handle stock count for event tickets (which could be used creatively as ressources or venues).

The other thing that you could do is to modify the plugin to your liking using our Themer’s guide or by hiring one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.

-Can you add as many resources to the calendar as you want?

You can add as many venues and as many events has you want, but unfortunately, not ressources per se.

-Are you limited in any way the number of resources you can attach to an event? For example, for a wedding booking, we need to book the Church, Bride’s Room, Meeting Rm 1 & 2 for the timeframe specified. So in essence, can I add all of those resources to that one booking? And if so, if I try to book another event for within the same

I am afraid this would not be possible currently provided the event and ticket focus of our products. But that would be wonderful.

Do you offer a free trial version of the Pro?

We do not offer a free version but since you are fully entitled to a refund within 30 days of your purchase, you could absolutely try it out for a month.

Best regards,

Geoff B.
