Here’s what’s new:<\/p>\n
Changing the color of existing appointments.<\/h2>\n
ARI now allows you to choose a different color for your appointments. To do this – open one of your appointments, scroll down to the change color section, and choose a new color for your appointment. Once ready – click save to confirm the changes. The new color should be visible right away on the calendar.<\/p>\n
Please keep in mind that changing the color won’t change the status of your appointment. <\/p>\n You can now assign one of your technicians to different appointments. It happens the following way:<\/p>\n Previously a mobile-only feature, we now support adding appointment events from ARI to your calendar. To do this – go to any active appointment and click ‘Add to Calendar’.\u00a0<\/strong>Choose one of the options below and this will sync the appointment with the calendar app you are using.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aside from standard working hours like 9:00 – 18:00, ARI now supports custom working times (\u00a08:45 AM – 6:12 PM.<\/b>) If you want to set up yours – go to your appointments page in ARI. Then go to the more menu(top-right corner) and click on ‘Set up your working hours’.\u00a0<\/strong>From there you can choose whatever works best for you and save the changes.<\/p>\n Is there anything you would recommend moving forward with the updates?
