How to adjust number of dates that show on internal availability calendar
Set how many days prior to the current date (or start of a month) to show
Adjusting the Number of Days Displayed on the Availability Calendar
This guide explains how the number of days displayed before and after the current or selected month works on the Availability Calendar, and how to adjust this setting to fit your preference.
Understanding the Calendar Display
By default, the Availability Calendar highlights the current date in yellow. For example, if today is June 23, that date will appear highlighted when you click T for ?Today.?
You?ll also notice that the calendar shows a few days before the current date ? typically four days by default. This is controlled by a preference setting.
When you navigate to a future month (for example, clicking to view October), the system also shows the same number of days prior to the first day of that month. For instance, if you have ?4 days prior? set, then the October view will begin on September 27.
Purpose: Showing these extra days makes it easier to edit or view reservations that span the end of one month and the beginning of the next, without needing to switch between months.
Changing the Number of Days Shown Before the Current Date
To adjust this setting:
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Select Preferences.
- Scroll to Internal Availability Calendar.
- Find the setting labeled ?Number of days prior to the current date?.
- Enter your preferred value (for example, 0 to start exactly on the current date).
- Click Save Changes.
Now, when you return to the calendar:
- Clicking T will display from the current date forward with no extra prior days.
- Selecting a future month will start exactly on the first day of that month (no prior overlap).
Example
If ?Number of days prior? is set to 0:
- Clicking ?Today? shows dates starting from today only.
- Clicking ahead to another month (for example, October) begins on October 1 and continues for 45 days.
If it?s set to 4 (the default):
- Clicking ?Today? shows 4 days before the current date plus the following 45 days.
- Clicking a month shows 4 days before the first of that month, allowing easy access to cross-month reservations.
Applies to the ?Change Reservation? Calendar
This same setting also affects the Change Reservation calendar view. When editing or moving a reservation and selecting Use Calendar, the number of prior days shown follows your preference.
If the setting is 0, the change calendar will start exactly at the first day of the month; otherwise, it will include the defined number of days prior.
Calendar Display Alignment Tip
If you ever notice that the dates and room columns don?t line up properly in your Availability Calendar, it may be caused by your browser?s zoom level.
To fix this:
- Press Ctrl + 0 (Windows) or Cmd + 0 (Mac) to reset your browser zoom to 100%.
- Zoom levels that are too large or too small can cause the grid to misalign.
Summary
- By default, ReservationKey shows 4 days prior to the current or selected month.
- This helps when managing reservations that span across months.
- You can change the number of days displayed under: Settings → Preferences → Internal Availability Calendar → Number of days prior to current date.
- Reset browser zoom (Ctrl+0) if the calendar columns ever appear misaligned.
