The day in order
The grid answers "when, across everyone". The list beside it answers "what's next" — and it's where the morning's confirmations get done.

It's ten to nine. The grid shows you twelve columns, and what you actually want to know is who's first, how heavy the day is, and who still hasn't confirmed.

What's next
Beside the grid, whenever nothing is selected, the day runs top to bottom in order: time, a status dot, the client, and what they're in for with whom. The first appointment that hasn't finished yet is marked Next, so the answer to "who's coming" is one glance rather than a scan across columns.
The heading above it counts the whole day — the number of appointments and the hours booked — and it keeps counting the whole day even while the list below is filtered. A small orange ⓘ beside a name means that client has a heads-up on their record worth reading before they arrive.
Click a row and the appointment opens in the same space. Close it and the list returns exactly where you left it, which matters more than it sounds on a thirty-row Saturday.
The morning confirmation pass
The count of unconfirmed appointments is a button.
- 1
Click the unconfirmed count in the heading — 8 unconfirmed. The list and the grid both narrow to those appointments only, and a line appears saying so.
- 2
Work down the list. Open each one, and confirm it if the client has replied to their reminder.
- 3
Click the count again to bring the whole day back.
When there's nothing left, the panel says Nothing unconfirmed — this day is fully confirmed, which is a better end to the job than an empty list you have to interpret.
Agenda view
Agenda, beside Day and Week in the toolbar, gives the whole width to the same chronological run — each row with its full time range and a status pill you can read across the room.
It's the view worth reaching for on a phone. The multi-stylist grid is a beautiful thing on a monitor and about a column and a half on a handset; the agenda is the same day in a shape that survives the trip.
Common questions
Where is this list?
Down the right-hand side of the calendar, whenever no appointment is selected. Open an appointment and the details take the same space; close it and the list comes back where you left it.
What does the Next badge mean?
The first appointment that hasn't finished yet. It only appears on a day you're actually living through — on next Tuesday there's no "next".
What's the difference between Agenda view and this list?
The same day, at two sizes. The side list sits beside the grid; Agenda gives the whole width to one chronological run, which is the view that actually works on a phone.
How do I see only the appointments nobody has confirmed?
Click the unconfirmed count. It's a filter, not a remark — the list and the grid both narrow, and clicking it again brings everything back.
Is there a keyboard shortcut?
D, W and A switch between Day, Week and Agenda, T goes back to today, and the arrow keys step a day at a time (a week at a time in week view).
What's the small orange ⓘ next to a name?
A heads-up on that client's record — something worth knowing before they sit down. Open the appointment to read it.
