From a booking draft to a saved confirmation

Spaces and customers

Keep room or studio details and customer records together. Archive and restore master records with dependency guards; remove unused records safely.

Booking drafts and confirmation

Choose one space, one customer and one local calendar date. Use 24-hour times with the end later than the start. Confirm checks active parents and overlapping reservations.

A clear capacity rule

Confirmed and Completed bookings block overlapping intervals for the same space, day and collection. Adjacent slots are allowed; Draft and Cancelled bookings do not reserve capacity.

Reschedule, cancel and complete

Return to Draft before rescheduling. Cancel with a reason, or complete after the scheduled end. Completed bookings are final.

Agenda and saved documents

Review the selected-date agenda across spaces. Save booking confirmation and daily-schedule PDF snapshots; later edits do not rewrite saved snapshots.

Branding and practice

Set separate sidebar and print logos. Use optional isolated fictional examples from Help, with repeat-safe creation and removal. Read shortened values in full through detail popovers.

Check the fit before downloading

Requires FileMaker Pro, sold separately, for one operator and one working window on local macOS desktop. Allow at least a 1340 × 900 workspace at 100%, plus window controls. Pro 19.6+ is the intended range. Recorded native evidence is mainly Pro 26.0.3, with separately scoped 19.6.3 checks. Windows and intermediate versions are not individually validated; Go, WebDirect, hosting and multi-user use are not supported by this release.

Same-day local bookings only. No overnight or recurring bookings, online booking, payments, email automation, calendar synchronization or timezone conversion. There are no automatic setup buffers: include setup time in the booked interval.

Version 1.0.0 follows accepted source editions and caption-only promotion with structural and package checks; it is not a newly rerun native suite. Recorded tests are scoped, not a guarantee for every platform or failure condition.

Start with an empty working copy

  1. Keep the downloaded ZIP as your clean starting point. Open a separate working copy in FileMaker Pro.
  2. Set your business details and separate sidebar and print logos in Settings.
  3. Add an active space and customer, then create a booking draft for one local day using 24-hour times.
  4. Confirm the booking to check availability. Review the selected-date agenda and create a confirmation snapshot in Documents.
  5. Use Help to create fictional examples in a separate practice copy. Close the database before making filesystem backups.

Usage, support and moving between editions

Both editions are unlocked for personal and internal-business use and customization. No resale or redistribution. Support is best effort, with no guaranteed response time or future updates. FileMaker Pro, hosting, implementation, training and migration are separate.

Premium Citrine Harbor is US$99 once. It supplies the same booking workflow with pine navigation, icons, rounded panels, a highlighted Today card and coordinated colors. It does not include the separate reusable Citrine Harbor theme license.

Standard and Premium are separate empty files. Buying Premium does not automatically move Standard records or customizations. Keep your working file and assess migration before switching.
