Schedule

The Schedule panel has two views, switched with the buttons at its top right.

Bookings lists your upcoming sessions with the time, client, service, length and date. Each has its status, mode and a Join button for online sessions. The small tabs Upcoming, Rescheduled and Cancelled narrow the list.

Transactions lists recent payments with the client, date, service, transaction ID and amount.
