Find Available Time box has just become a littler smarter

A number of folks have posed the question "If I'm not available on certain days, why does ClickBook show links to all days on the main profile page?".  Good point.  Well, we've just fixed that with some clever new functionality that helps both service providers and clients quickly see who is available and when, without having to trawl through each day looking for availability.

Lets take a look at the Lucy's Table Massage Services profile (hi Lucy!).  I've chosen a 30 minute massage in this case.  The first thing that you'll notice is that "Tomorrow" which is a Sunday in Melbourne, is disabled, since this service is not available on Sundays.  You can also see the green shading on the calendar, indicating that the selected service is available Monday thru Saturday.

Figure 1 - 30 Minute Massage with "Anyone" shows that the service is available from Monday thru Saturday


Now if we select a specific person from the list, we see the links and the green shading change to reflect the Weekly Availability (working days) of the selected staff member:

Neat huh?
