Google Calendar Sync
BOLT XLR puts each person's scheduler events and task due dates on their Google Calendar, and shows their busy times on the dispatch board so the office can see who is free before assigning work. Changes made in Google Calendar never move anything in BOLT XLR.
Work on Every Calendar
Turn Google Calendar on once for the company, and each person links their own calendar in Preferences. Choose what goes on calendars, and work assigned to a team goes on every member's.
- Scheduler Events and Task Due Dates. On the assigned person's Google Calendar.
- Team Work. On every member's calendar.
- Separate Jobs Calendar. A BOLT XLR Jobs calendar people can hide or recolor, or each person's main calendar.
You Choose What an Event Says
Pick the details an event carries, and see how it reads on a phone before anyone links a calendar.
- Customer and Address. The customer's name and the service address.
- Link Back to the Job. Open the job in BOLT XLR from the event.
- Access Notes Off by Default. Gate codes and access notes stay off unless you turn them on, because calendars are often shared with family.
Busy Times on the Dispatch Board
Each linked person's Google Calendar shows in their lane as hatched Busy blocks with the time, never the event's title. The blocks are read only, and anyone can hide them for themselves.
- Busy, Never the Title. A block gives the time, such as Busy 8:30 to 10:00 AM.
- Two, Four, or Eight Weeks. Choose how far ahead busy times are read.
- Tentative Events. Count them as busy, or leave them off.
BOLT XLR Stays in Charge
Every event says it was added by BOLT XLR, and edits made in Google Calendar never move anything in BOLT XLR. Turning the sync off removes the events it added.
- Google Workspace in One Step. A Workspace admin authorizes BOLT XLR once, and nobody has to link a calendar by hand.
- Who Has Linked. A People list with each person's status, and reminders or invites for anyone not linked.
