Create Blockages on Scheduler App

The block-off time option can be used to set blockages, such as lunch breaks, meetings, etc. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to create a blockage on the scheduler app.

Things to know:

• The ability to create a blockage is governed by the "Accessing Appointments" access control setting.
• 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.
• When creating a blockage, you have the option to schedule it to repeat so you don't have to manually create the blockage each time. To set it to repeat, tap on 'Repeat' to configure how often you want the blockage to occur. You can set it to repeat by days, weeks, or months, and you can also add an end date.
• For recurring blockages, if no end time is specified, the blockage will persist indefinitely until it is manually deleted.
