Drag to book on the calendar

Create a booking by selecting the time range directly on the calendar grid.

Before you start

• You must be a member, admin, or owner. Viewers cannot book.
• You need to be on the syndicate Calendar tab, in Month, Week, or Day view.

Steps on the web

1. Open the Calendar tab.
2. Switch to Week or Day view for an hourly grid, or stay on Month for a day-level grid.
3. Click and hold on the start time, then drag to the end time and release. The grid highlights the range as you drag.
4. When you release, the create-booking dialog opens pre-filled with your dragged range.
5. Adjust the asset and times if you need to and tap Create. The rest of the flow is the same as Create a booking.

Steps on iOS and Android

1. Open the Calendar tab.
2. Switch to Week or Day view.
3. Long-press on the start time until the grid marks it, then — without lifting your finger — drag to the end time and release.
4. When you release, the create-booking dialog opens pre-filled with your dragged range.
5. Adjust and tap Create.

On Month view, mobile and web are the same:

• Long-press a single day for a default-length booking.
• Drag across multiple days for a multi-day booking.

If it goes wrong

• The drag highlights nothing — you might be dragging across a time the asset is already booked. Try an empty slot.
• The dialog opens with no asset — you are on a multi-asset syndicate and no asset is selected in the calendar filter. Pick one from the Asset dropdown in the dialog before saving.
• Nothing happens on a long press — on mobile, keep holding for about half a second before starting to drag. A quick tap doesn’t trigger the gesture.
