Getting started with schedules - schedule version v4
Introduction
A reserVie schedule is a widget that can be placed on a website to automatically generate and display events in a timetable or schedule which can be embedded directly into your website.
This document refers to the schedule versions 4 of the schedules, which are available in reserVie version 1.22.x.x or higher.
Previous versions of the schedule are now deprecated. If you have created a version of the schedule prior to version 1.22.x.x, you will still have access to these. However, older versions of the schedule can no longer be generated for new schedules.

Getting started with reserVie schedules is quick and simple, taking just a few minutes. They are compatible with most websites and simply need the ability to embed HTML scripts into a webpage (which is possible with most editors/website providers).
