How to Block Time Off in the Calendar

This article covers how to create a blockout in the calendar. Blockouts are used to block time off in the calendar. They can only be created within a shift, so make sure to first create a shift.

Step 1: Navigate to Calendar

Step 2: Choose Timeslot for Blockout

Click on the desired starting time for the blockout and click on it.

Step 3: Select Blockout Type and Input Details

At the top of the appointment creation modal, you will find the Blockout types created in your account. Click on the desired blockout type and input the blockout details.

The start time is based on the selected timeslot.

Each blockout type has a default duration, prepopulating the end time and duration field. You can adjust the duration as needed.

NOTE: To create more blockout types, please follow the steps provided in this guide.

For an all-day blockout, use the "All day" toggle to cover the entire shift. Optionally, add a note with important information.

Step 4: Invite Guests

You can add other staff members to the blockout in the Guests section. This duplicates the blockout in their respective shifts. Skip this step if not applicable.

Step 5: Confirm and Book

At the bottom of the modal, click on "Book" to confirm. The blockout has now been successfully created.
