View Preferences
Your preferred view is saved automatically. Timeblu remembers:

Display Options
Customize how your calendar looks:
Show/Hide Weekends
Don’t work weekends? Hide them to focus on your working days.
Show/Hide Cancelled Sessions
Control whether cancelled sessions appear on your calendar in Calendar Display settings.
Visible Hours
By default, Day and Week views show only the hours covered by your calendars’ working hours. Pick a custom range or the full 24 hours in Settings > Calendar - see Calendar Settings for how out-of-range items are handled.
Row Height and Column Width
If your appointments look too small - common on long working days with many staff columns - make the grid cells exactly as big as you like:
- Click the magnifier button in the calendar toolbar, next to the view selector (shown in Day, Week, and Month views; it highlights when any zoom is applied). On a phone, open the ⋯ menu at the end of the calendar header row and choose Zoom - the same three sliders appear in a bottom sheet
- Drag the Row height slider to make hours taller (the grid scrolls vertically), and the Column width slider to make staff columns wider (the grid scrolls horizontally)
Taller rows show more detail on each appointment (service, client, and time on separate lines). In Month view, taller rows also fit more appointments per day before the “+N more” overflow. The column slider also works the other way: below 100% it lets more staff columns fit on screen at once, which is handy on a tablet or phone - on a large screen with few calendars the columns already fill the width, so shrinking has no effect there.
A third slider, Text size, makes the appointment text itself larger (up to 150%) - independent of the cell size, so you can combine big text with compact cells or the other way around.
The small reset arrow next to each value returns that slider to its default. All three values are remembered per device and per view - your Day, Week, and Month grids each keep their own zoom, and the front-desk tablet and your phone can each use their own settings.
