The Block Off Time option allows you to create blockages, such as for lunch breaks or other time-off needs. You can set these blockages to recur and customize the color in which they appear on your schedule.
Things to Know:
- The blockage created will appear on your schedule and block availability online for the specified staff member and time.
- Blockages override bookings per time slot. For example, if a staff member is set to accept 10 bookings per time slot but has a blockage on their schedule from 9 AM to 5 PM, no availability will be displayed online for that day due to the blockage.
- For recurring blockages, if no end time is specified, the blockage will persist indefinitely until it is manually deleted.
To set a blockage:
- Navigate to the schedule
- Click on the ‘New Appointment’ button below the calendar on the left-hand side of the Schedule or on a specific time slot directly in the schedule
- Select the Block Off Time tab when the modal opens to set or manage blockages on your schedule
-
The Add Block time screen appears where you can do the following:
- Select the desired location, staff and resource
- Add a title such as Lunch, Doctor’s Appointment, Break, etc
- Start and end time - Duration of the blockage
- Frequency: daily, weekly or monthly
- Set the color of the blockage
- Save your changes
