System Settings
You need to restart Orchestra after changing these settings.
In this tab you configure the settings needed to synchronize the Calendar application with Orchestra. You also configure the Online Booking settings, External Customer Database Settings, as well as the Appointment removal settings.
Orchestra Synchronization Settings
The following settings are available in this section:
• Username - default is calendar.
• Password
• Unique customer identifier field - from the drop-down list, select one of the following: Card Number; Custom field 1-5.
Online Booking settings
The following settings are available in this section:
• Reservation Expiry Time - the default value is 600 seconds.
• Unique customer identifier field - from the drop-down list select one of the following: Public ID; Email Address; Phone Number; Identification Number; External ID.
• Pre-populate appointment data on startup - If set to true, the Calendar backend will, on start-up, attempt to load cacheable data for Appointments and Blocking Appointments. The data loaded will be defined by which Appointment profiles and which Services are available on each Branch. This pre-fetch is done to prevent the potentially long initial load times the first time e.g. “get available dates for Branch and Service” is called. Default: false.
Appointment removal settings
Here, you can configure the following:
• Delete appointments older than number of days - here you enter the number of days after which the Appointments should be deleted from the qp_calendar database. The default value is 90 days.
Audit settings
Here, you can configure the following:
• Audit blocking appointments - when this check box is checked, it will be logged in the Calendar audit functionality, when so called Blocking Appointments are created or edited. Blocking Appointments are used to block the possibility to book an Appointment for a certain Resource, during a certain point in time. By default this is logged.
