The system backs up all scheduling data every 24 hours. The most data that can be lost is one day’s worth. A company using DateLock^tm is secure in the knowledge that their important scheduling data is backed up daily - something that often doesn't happen with small businesses.

DateLock^tm allows you to:
• Block out known vacation days
• Establish fixed time blocks for bookings
• Establish minimum time blocks for bookings
• Block out or make available any time period(s) down to 15 minute blocks for:
  • A given date
  • All occurrences of a given day or days of the week (Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, etc.)
  • All occurrences of a given day or days of the month (first Monday, second Tuesday, first and third Monday, etc.),
  • All occurrences of a given date or dates of the month (1st, 5th, and 21st , etc.),
  • A given date range (October 1st through November 15th, etc.)
• Do the above for one or many booking units (boats, rooms, cabins, therapists, facilities, etc.)
• Do the above for one or many booking types (perch charter, salmon charter, waterfront cabin, golf course cabin, etc.)
• Do the above for any combination of booking unit/booking type, with different payment schedules for all... and that is an incredible amount of flexibility

The customization features are intuitive and graphic based (point and click). DateLock^tm provides a very deep customization capability. It can accommodate the needs of businesses and organizations as widely varied as charter fishing, doctors, golf courses, bed and breakfast inns, halls, therapists, hypnotists and sports organizations, to name a few.

DateLock^tm is designed to be compatible with both you and your customer's computer operating system and web browser. Because the program is web based with no Active X controls or Java Applets, it achieves the widest range of compatibility. DateLock^tm works on Macintosh, Windows, Linux and most other operating systems. DateLock^tm works with AOL, Netscape, Internet Explorer and most major browsers.

DateLock^tm can be adopted to changing business needs without programming. A charter fishing company using the program to book charters, and then deciding to add some rental cottages could easily integrate the new scheduling needs. The company would not need to call anyone, hire any programming, or purchase anything, just add some new categories, and create some new rules for the existing application.

In its simplest form, DateLock^tm can be used with the addition of one hyperlink or button to a web site, and the code for that is created automatically by DateLock^tm. You just set the rules, then copy and paste.
