How to Block Slots and Days within the Calendar

You can block specific time periods and services within the Calendar Module as well as entire days.

Blocking a specific time period or day completely (across all services)

  1. Click anywhere within the calendar
  2. You’ll see two options: New Service and Block a slot, click on
  3. Give the block a title reason e.g. Staff Training
  4. Do not select any Services; leaving this blank will block everything in its entirety
  5. Add the Date and starting Time
  6. Add the Duration (hours and/or minutes)
  7. Count represents your booking capacity
    E.g. 1: A Dog Daycare with a licence for up to 40 dogs that wants to block out an entire day will put the block count to 40
    E.g. 2: A Grooming business with 2 groomers has 1 groomer away so they can only groom 1 dog at 9am, instead of 2, will put the block count to     1
  8. Specific service – will block if it has its own schedule

Blocking a specific service

Note

You can only block a service specifically if it has its own Calendar. To see if your service has it’s own Calendar, go to the Operations Module and open up the service, if there is no Calendar there, this service shares your Operational Hours; please refer to the blocking method in option 1.

  1. Click anywhere within the calendar
  2. You’ll see two options: New Service and Block a slot, click on
  3. Give the block a title reason e.g. Staff Training
  4. Select the Services you wish to block capacity for (remember if you select a service it will only block it if it has it’s own individual schedule)
  5. Add the Date and starting Time
  6. Add the Duration (hours and/or minutes)
  7. Count represents your booking capacity
    E.g. A Paddock Hire business wants to block Field A only for 1 hour, they can only take 1 booking at a time so they will put the block count to 1
