Bookings and the calendar

Block one day, or a range, from online booking

Blocked time takes two dates, not one. Same day in both fields blocks a day; move the second and it blocks everything between.

Blocked time takes a start date and an end date, so one form closes a single day, or everything between two dates, for a team member or a resource.

  1. Open Appointments, select New, then Blocked Time.
  2. Choose one or more team members under Select Team Members, or choose Resource/Location and pick one or more under Select Resources/Locations.
  3. Set Start Date, then leave End Date on the same day to block one day, or move it to block everything in between.
  4. If you mean to close, widen Start Time and End Time, which open on a working day rather than the whole of it.
  5. Select Create Blocked Time.

A block is set per team member or resource. Create Blocked Time can cover several of the same kind in one go. Bulk Blocked Time, in the same New menu, blocks team members and resources together, and Select Everyone ticks them all in one go.

Tip

For a date the country already knows about, Public Holidays applies the same block from a list instead.

Tip

To close the whole business for a day, or up to 31 days, open Public Holidays and select Close for a day. One button blocks every team member and resource, shows Closed on your booking page, and lists the bookings on those dates. It never cancels a booking.
