This article will cover additional settings and ways to manage your PGA Calendar.

Booking Limits

Booking Limits offer a way for you, as a Coach, to control how far in advance your students can book time with you. To find this setting, you'll head over to the Settings screen of the PGA Coach Platform.

Start Time Increments

Coaches have the ability to choose the increments by which their lessons are offered. Based on your set availability for the facility the booking type is tied to, you have the option to offset your start times by 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes.

This setting exists on your booking types. If you have existing booking types you'd like to add a start time increment to, please edit that type. Otherwise, you'll see the option to select


For example, if you are available from 9:15am to 4pm and would like the available start times to be in 30 minute increments you can choose 30 minutes and your initial lesson start times for that specific booking type will be 9:15, 9:45, 10:15, 10:45, and so on.

If your availability is from 9am to 6pm and you would like your available lesson start times to begin at half past the hour, you would choose 30 minutes and your lessons for that booking type will be available at 9, 9:30, 10 and so on - as in the screenshot below.

Google Calendar Sync

We have the opportunity to sync a Google Calendar with your PGA Calendar. The setting allows you to securely sync the blocks of time located in the Google Calendar you choose to sync with. Your PGA Calendar will not collect any data from this sync, but rather simply recognize that you're not available.

This is a nice setting to use to prevent double bookings, while also allowing you to limit the number of calendars you're managing.

Booking Override

As a PGA Coach and admin for your PGA Calendar, we've built the ability for you to override your availability settings. Essentially, we've given you the power to book any time on your calendar despite whether you're booked or not. Our reason for doing this is to allow you the flexibility to make sure you can operate your PGA Calendar in whatever fashion is the most effective for you.

You'll notice in the bottom right hand corner of the image below a button that will initiate the screen for choosing a custom time to book.

Reschedule

If you find that you need to reschedule a booked lesson. Simply navigate to the lesson you wish to reschedule on your PGA Calendar. You'll notice a "pencil icon", which will give you the ability to modify the date and time of the lesson. See the image below.

Accommodating a Variable Schedule

Do you have a schedule that varies from week to week? If so, try setting your Availability for all the possible times you might teach during any given week. Then when you have a better idea of what your schedule will be, add the times that you will be unavailable as Blocked Times. Don't forget to set your Booking Limits so that students can't book you before you know your schedule.
