Booking vs Blocking on calendar

Is there a way to color code bookings vs blocking on the calendar?  We only have one property, but I'd like to see which are legit bookings and which are just blocked off for us.  As it is, they are all red and I get lost in the mix when I look ahead through the months.

On the ribbon calendar? My houses are different colors and the blocks are gray.

Can you go into each property and choose a different color? Go to property and change calendar color.

Hey Celia! You can set your preference for this in Account > Display Preferences. You can choose if you want blocked dates to show as grey or your property color -- as well as candy-striped or solid.

Alece, if you don't want booking dates to show that are super far in advance, how do you block those off?  Is there a checkbox for something like "only show 6 months ahead"?  Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey Rachel! YES! Go to Properties > Property Name > Rules. Scroll down to Booking Window and you can set the max days in the future that you want your calendar to be open for booking.
