How to block and move free time in the calendar

Before you begin

Open the correct business in day or week view and select one specialist to manage their intervals.

Working hours, free slots, blocked intervals and client visits are separate. Moving a free slot does not move an existing appointment.

Select the day and specialist
Open Appointments in Day or Week view. Choose a specialist; slot controls may be unavailable when viewing several together.
Distinguish the actions
The plus starts a booking. The lock controls interval availability. Read the label or tooltip before choosing.
Block or unblock an interval
Use the block action for the time and wait for saving. Use the available unblock action for blocked time. Check the calendar legend and result.
Move an eligible free slot
Press and hold its lock and drag within the same day. Movement uses 15-minute steps. Check the preview time and availability before releasing.
Use keyboard controls when needed
Focus the controlling lock. Up and Down adjust time; Enter saves and Esc cancels. Do not save a preview marked unavailable.
Check online booking
After saving, test availability for the relevant service. Use Schedule for recurring weekly changes and the visit card to reschedule a client.

The interval is blocked, reopened or moved, and existing client visits have been checked separately.

A booking form opened instead

You selected the add action. Close it and use the interval’s lock.

The slot cannot be moved

Not every interval supports moving. Check the specialist, conflicts with visits and blocks, and remain within the same day.

How do I close a day or change the week?

Use date exceptions or the standard specialist schedule rather than editing many intervals.

A client appointment remained after blocking

Blocking free time does not cancel an existing visit. Manage it separately and agree changes with the client.
