✨ When You Need This Guide

Use this article when:

  • Your clinic will be closed for holidays, special events, or PTO

  • You want to stop patients from booking online during certain dates or hours

Common questions this article answers:

  • How do I block off specific dates from online scheduling?

  • Can I stop bookings for just one day?

  • What happens when clinic hours temporarily change?


āœ… Set Clinic-Wide Vacation or Holiday Hours šŸ„

  1. Go to Scheduling > Settings
    This is where you manage both default and special schedules.

  2. Click ā€œSet Holiday/Vacation Hoursā€
    You’ll see a calendar for editing your schedule.

  3. Use arrows in the top corners to navigate between weeks or months.

  4. Click and drag across the calendar to adjust hours.

    • Blue sections = available to book

    • Remove blue areas to block off time (unavailable)

  5. Prefer manual control?

    • In the top-right of the calendar, switch to ā€œManual Inputā€

    • You can enter exact start/end times or click ā€œDeleteā€ to remove availability completely

  6. Click ā€œSave Scheduleā€ before switching weeks

    • Important: Each week must be saved individually—changes will be lost if you move weeks before saving.
      ​


šŸ§‘ā€āš•ļø Set Vacation Hours for Specific Providers

  1. In the same Scheduling > Settings page, click ā€œSet User Provider Schedulesā€

  2. Select the provider you want to adjust.

  3. Click ā€œSet Holiday/Vacation Hoursā€

  4. Just like clinic-wide scheduling, you can:

    • Click and drag to adjust open hours

    • Or switch to Manual Input to precisely enter or delete time blocks

  5. Click ā€œSave Scheduleā€ for each week you edit to lock in your changes.
