Blocked Time Off w/ Video ►

If an employee will be absent during regular working hours, it must be entered on the appointment schedule so appointments cannot be scheduled for them during those times.

Proceed to:   Schedule
 
1.     In the column under the employee's name, click on the space for the time you want to begin the time block

2.     In the Schedule Time Off for Employee section, select the amount of time  the employee will be off
Note:  If "Schedule Time Off for Employee" is not visible to you, this means you do not have the Time On/Off Permission

To Schedule a Recurring Time Block:

3.     Enter a reason, if you wish, such as “personal”, “dentist”, etc...

- Duration: How long the schedule change will continue, (i.e 5 days, 3 weeks, 6 months, etc...)
- Frequency: How often the block will occur during the Duration period, (if it is consecutive, you'll need to choose 1 day)
