Breaks, blocked time and time off

There are two ways to keep time free in the calendar. A break — one-time, or recurring every week on the days you choose, like a lunch break. Blocked time — a few hours or a whole day, for a vacation, sick day, meeting or holiday. Either way, clients can’t book in that time, and appointments already booked stay in the calendar.

Adding a break

1. 1

   In “Calendar”, click “Add a break”.

   Calendar
2. 2

   Choose “Recurring” or “One-time”, and under “For whom”, a staff member or “The whole business”.

3. 3

   For a recurring break tick “On which days”; for a one-time one pick a date. Then “From” and “Until”, and a name if you like — say, lunch break.

4. 4

   A recurring break can also be limited with “From” and “To” dates (empty — no end date). Click “Add recurring break” or “Add break”.

Removing

Click the break or blocked time in the calendar and confirm. A recurring break is removed from every day — “Remove from every day”.
