Understanding the settings

This selection will provide a 'View Calendar' button on the Booking Engine to display a calendar view of your available units in a glance over a period. |
| 2. Default to show the open availability calendar when guests go to your booking engine |
If you've selected to display the availability calendar, this will show the availability calendar by default at the top of your booking engine. The potential guest will not have to click the 'View Calendar' button. |
