Creating, Editing and Deleting Block Schedules Follow

Block Schedules are a useful feature that can be applied to various scenarios for your store!

Whether it's public Holidays, lunch breaks, holiday closures or annual leave, Block Schedules allows you to unpublish available schedules rather than manually unpublishing individual time slots. 

Creating a Block Schedule

To create a Block Schedule, simply navigate to Appointments setup → Calendar → Click on 'Block Schedule' in the top right hand corner and then follow the steps below: 

1. Filter the Block Schedule to apply to all or specific rooms by selecting the drop down and ticking the relevant rooms. 

2. Select the start date of your Block and the specialties you'd like to apply to the rooms previously selected.

Note: To apply a Block Schedule to every specialty, simply select the 'All specialties' box!

3. Select the start and end time that will apply to the Block Schedule.

We recommend adding a reason to your Block Schedule can help other staff identify why this block is has been added!

4. Select the days of the week you'd like the Block Schedule to apply to and whether this block will have any repeat settings.

5. Finally, click the 'Block Schedule' button and you've created a Block Schedule! This Block Schedule will appear as a grey-shaded area over your existing schedule.

Editing or Deleting a Block Schedule

To edit your Block Schedule, simply hover over the circle icon in the top right corner of the schedule until it turns into a pencil. Click on this pencil icon and the Block Schedule menu will appear again to make your changes. 

Note: Make sure to click 'Save' for your changes to be applied!

To delete the Block Schedule, click on the 'Delete' button on the same Block Schedule menu. 

Please Note: After a Block Schedule has been deleted, the appointments won't republish themselves - to republish these, click the 'Republish all appointments' button beneath the Calendar.
