Platform & widgets

Under Widgets you create and manage the various booking views your customers see on the booking platform or your website. Open the area via Platform / widgets (↗ open) in the left navigation.

Booking platform

The booking platform is the central external entry point for your customers (clubs, schools, guests). It consists of:

Resource overview – all available resources with image, description, and categories
Widgets – additional booking and view options in the upper area

Configure the platform under Settings > Platform and widgets:

Setting	Description
Link to platform	The public URL of your booking platform.
Title & description	Shown on the platform home page.
Logo & city image	Visual branding.
Resource selection	Which resources are visible on the platform.
Legal notices	Privacy policy, terms, cancellation policy (as link or text).
Multilingual	Configure language selection for customers.

Booking widgets

Widget	Description
Calendar booking	Shows a calendar (day, week, month) where customers see free slots and book directly. Especially useful when you want to show several similar resources at a glance.
Request form	A simple form for booking requests – no calendar view. Requests land on the dashboard and under Bookings. There is no conflict check – especially suited to special requests even during closures.

Display widgets (digital signage)

Widget	Description
Calendar view	Like calendar booking but without booking – view only. Suited to info screens.
Resource display	Shows current bookings for a single resource on site on a display. Navigate between days by touch. Also shows sub-resource bookings.
Foyer / entrance display	Shows all upcoming occupancy with wayfinding on a large display – ideal for entrance areas.

Each widget is configured in three tabs: General, Display, and Access.

General

Custom URL	Own URL segment for the widget (e.g. `kalenderbuchung`). Special characters are removed automatically. The full URL is your platform URL plus the segment.

Different widgets per customer group

You can provide different widgets for different customer groups:

Clubs might see a calendar widget with details on existing bookings (title, customer name).
External guests might see a calendar where occupied slots appear only as “booked”.
Widgets visible only after login suit customer groups with extended information rights.

There are two ways to offer widgets on your website:

1. HTML embed (iframe)

On the widget’s General tab you find the HTML embed code. Copy it to the desired place on your website. The code works with common CMS systems (WordPress, TYPO3, etc.).

Alternatively link your widget URL or booking platform URL directly on your website. You find URLs in the widget overview.

Privacy policy

If you embed widgets on your website, we recommend extending your privacy policy with a corresponding notice.

There are two levels at which you control whether a resource is visible to customers:

Remove resource from platform: under Resources > [Resource] > Settings disable Available on booking platform. The resource is then invisible in all widgets.
Remove resource from a specific widget: on the widget’s Access tab, under Available resources select only the resources that should appear in this widget. Resources not listed stay hidden.

Read-only access for external parties (e.g. cleaning companies)

To give external service providers read access to occupancy without booking details or customer names:

Create a calendar view widget (view only, no booking).
Disable Available on platform so the widget does not appear on the booking platform.
Under Available resources select the relevant rooms.
Under Public booking data disable all fields (no customer name, no title) – bookings appear only as “booked”.
Share the direct widget URL with the cleaning company.
