INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: The Courts Scheduler widget provides a customizable list of scheduled court reservations and events. This widget displays current and upcoming bookings and allows administrators to configure which reservation details are visible to players or staff. Perfect for lobby displays, front desk monitors, or staff scheduling boards, the Reservation List ensures everyone has a clear view of daily activity.
Note: Widgets are designed to run in a web browser. For example, system users can copy and paste a widget link onto their website or display it on a front desk smart TV. If a widget link is tapped inside the CourtReserve mobile app or branded mobile app, it will open in the device’s default browser, where players will interact with the widget.
Use Cases:
Display daily reservations on lobby Smart TVs or monitors.
Provide front desk staff with a live reference of current court bookings.
Allow teaching pros to quickly see their upcoming lessons and assignments.
Assist players in confirming their scheduled courts when arriving at the facility.
Streamline court access with visible court assignments.
