The Booking Agenda screen is similar to the Booking Calendar except that it shows spaces across the top of the screen and the dates down the side of the screen. This allows you to more quickly scroll through more dates across a few spaces, as is commonly needed for performing arts centers, stadiums, or arenas. The Booking Agenda screen is only available in v30.
Nearly all the same configuration settings from the Booking Calendar apply to the Booking Agenda with the exception of the following:
- Calendar Notices are not available to the Booking Agenda.
