BLOCKED TIME

Choosing "BLOCKED TIME" lets you add reserved time to your business calendar, typically for personal reasons, you're busy, etc. This blocked time does not allow sessions to be booked by you or your customers and does not display on your business' public calendar for clients to see.

- Add a title, select the professional, choose the start and ending time, and create a blocked time session. You may also add a Block Time Description on the right side.

EXCEPTED TIME

Choosing "EXCEPTED TIME" lets you add specific times to your schedule when professionals are made available for appointments, even if they typically have fixed work hours or an inconsistent schedule. This feature allows clients to book appointments during these excepted times, which can be set up easily through the business account's calendar. After the excepted times have occurred, the professional will not be available for appointments unless they have set fixed appointment availability work hours or added new excepted times.
