Dynamic Forms - Adding A Calendar Booking Link

Hi Tim,
Hope youre ace.
Few questions.

1) Way overdue for an update, I'm in the middle of a school gallery, I imagine it's safest to do this after I close in case of any major hiccups - I have not updated since purchase almost 2 years! YIKES! Would you wait?

2) I have just created a calendar event. Is there a way of adding lunch breaks or is this how I do it, creating different sections on the same date? (maybe the update resolves this)

3) I am trying to add this booking link to a new page via Dynamic forms however when I click on booking calander (Through the dynamic form design element) it says no data.
How do I do this?
Ultimatly i'd love to just add more content below the above booking page but it just adds the design box to a column under the text on the right half, not across the whole page. So I figured I need to create a page and just link it then to this booking only page, no content can be added? its creating too many click throughs, would be good if i can just do it all on one page instead of sub pages...

Hope this all makes sense!

1) I say it is safe to do the update anytime but you can wait until it is slower if you feel better about that.

2) Go to the calendar in the admin, click on the date, click the "Add Booking or Event" button and set the time and length you want to block out and check "Block out all available slots for this time" option.

3) A form is for a contact form. Not for adding links. The booking page is set up so there is a photo to the left and content to the right so all the content of the page designer will go there. You can edit the layout of the booking pages in Design -> Page Display & Content Listing Layouts.

Tim- I had a thought.

Since you have this option for lunch,
2) Go to the calendar in the admin, click on the date, click the "Add Booking or Event" button and set the time and length you want to block out and check "Block out all available slots for this time" option.

Could you add this type of option to "add x amount of time before event" to help buffer out travel time.

I am running into the issue again with my busy fall - where I have someone book 6PM and it blocks the calendar from 6-8 but doesn't block out 5-6PM (where I am in the car going to location) causing someone to book it and then having me to contact them with my tail between my legs for forgetting to block it out for travel.

This only becomes an issue in my busy season where I am booking 3-5 appointments a day. I love your software so much, :)
