Save Time by Learning All These Sagenda Features

by | Mar 21, 2022 | Sagenda

At Sagenda, we’re constantly developing new features. However, some of these interesting features remain largely unknown by users. Here is a non-comprehensive list of tips you can use to take full advantage of Sagenda.

 

Updated Frontend

We have revamped our agenda calendar view. Using an understated look, a colored dot indicates the status of your reservation instead of a fully colored background rectangle.

Old New

While some of you are using Sagenda to run business mainly on weekends, most entrepreneurs manage Monday to Friday work weeks. Therefore, we suggest using a new “work week” view excluding Saturdays and Sundays. This view is particularly useful to enhance accessibility within the context of responsive design and to improve mobility. In fact, since some smartphones have limited screen sizes, saving space by cutting unused weekdays leads to a substantially improved browsing experience.

New View: Work Week 

You are now able to hide the occupancy rate of your bookings on the frontend. In fact, while showing stats is interesting (e.g., 12/15 reservations), some business owners who are just starting out a new activity with limited clients end up with entire weeks showing no reservations made. As the old adage goes, “You don’t earn loyalty in a day. You earn loyalty day by day”, nobody likes to book an unknown place. You can now disable the feature displaying the number of open reservations and enable it later when your business improves in terms of occupancy rate.

In addition to call-to-action buttons, you may now customize the color of your calendar browsing buttons.

Did you know it’s possible to hide some elements of your frontend calendar? While having lots of features is fine, if you do not wish to use some Sagenda functionalities, you can simply disable things like multiple booking selection or altogether remove the information button from the frontend.

 

Hide the Information Button

You may now hide the information button redirecting you to a tutorial explaining the booking process. Therefore, the booking process is more discreet in case of “white label” integration.

 

Change the Badge Number Meaning

You may now customize the number listed in the monthly view case box to display the number of open events or the number of open reservations.

 

Display Only One Bookable Item

This is a very useful piece of information: you may now display a single bookable item and hide the drop-down list. To do this, simply add ?fixedbookableitem=x to your page link. You can easily find the item on the page of bookable items.

 

Excel Reports

Did you know that you may now export your bookings to an Excel spreadsheet? Excel remains an extremely powerful tool when you need to select, filter, or create statistics. Don’t forget to export your Excel files.

 

Be Mobile

Also don’t forget that you have free access to our iOS and Android application allowing you to check or cancel your bookings, access statistics and much more. A real head start enabling you to live check your bookings.

Our team hopes you will use these features to simplify your upcoming Sagenda bookings.
