How to Lock and Unlock Your Calendar Screen

In this guide, we'll show you how to lock and unlock the calendar screen in Pabau.

Locking and unlocking the calendar screen with a user-specific passcode enhances security by ensuring only authorized staff can access sensitive scheduling information. This feature also streamlines staff transitions on shared devices.

Here’s how it works: if the calendar screen is locked (either manually or automatically) and a different staff member enters their passcode, the previous user will be logged out, and the new user will be logged in.

For added security, enabling the advanced Calendar Lockout setting restricts access further, allowing only the passcode of the currently logged-in user to unlock the calendar.

NOTE: To lock and unlock your Calendar, you'll need your Pabau passcode. Review this article to find out how you can set a passcode.

Step 1: Navigate to Calendar

Start by logging into your Pabau account using your login credentials. Then, navigate to the Calendar in the left sidebar menu. 

Step 2: Lock Calendar

In the top right corner of the calendar, click the lock icon.

NOTE: The calendar will automatically lock if no mouse movement is detected on the calendar page for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Insert Your Passcode


After clicking the lock icon, a modal will appear, prompting you to enter a passcode. All activities will remain blocked until you enter the passcode.

The passcode accepted will depend on whether the advanced Calendar Lockout option is enabled in your account under Calendar Settings.

  • If Calendar Lockout is enabled, only the passcode of the staff member who was logged in before the calendar was locked will be accepted.
  • If Calendar Lockout is disabled, passcodes from other staff members will also be accepted, and the logged-in user will change based on the passcode entered.

Step 4: Review Calendar

Once you enter your passcode, you'll regain access to the calendar.

By following these steps, you can lock and unlock your calendar in Pabau.
