Event calendar
The event calendar serves for quick orientation in orders and organizational activities. Sorted by days and hours it shows:
- upcoming and ending car rentals
- expiring car papers - e.g. end of MOT/EC validity, insurance (obligatory insurance or casco) and highway stamp
- manually created events - e.g. insurance claim, etc.
The calendar allows filtering of records by selected period, office, employee as well as downloading to a PDF file for printing.

Orders - beginning and end of the rent
Since the start and end of the rental is an important event, the calendar displays the exact time of the start and end of the vehicle rental with specific details. Each event field contains quick links to a specific order, vehicle and customer so that these can be edited if necessary.
