Block Time Availability on your PracticeQ Calendar
If your PracticeQ calendar is linked to your Google or Outlook Calendar, the blocked time on those calendars will show as blocked on your PracticeQ calendar. But if you simply want to block time availability inside PracticeQ, follow the steps below.
- Click Bookings.
- Click Block Time.
- In the Block Time dialog, complete the fields with the necessary information.
- You may block all locations or single locations, all services or single services, and set it to repeat every day, every weekday, weekly, or every other week. This can be used to support many scenarios! For example, a provider who works every other Thursday can set up their Thursday hours, and then block every other Thursday by choosing the Every other week option.
- Click Save to add the blocked time to your calendar.
Shortcut: To quickly block availability in your calendar, you can open the dialog above by pressing and holding the Shift key while clicking on the day/time you want to block in your calendar.
