What are Manual Blockers?

Manual blockers let you block areas and resources in your system that should be fully or partially unavailable for a certain period of time. They’re often used to enter custom reservations that don’t really fit into your existing product setup.

What can I use manual blockers for?

Manual blockers help you avoid booking conflicts by blocking specific areas or resources. For example, you might want to block a space that’s under renovation or a court that won’t be available due to a special event.

The best part? You don’t have to change your product availability – it’s quick and keeps everything clear and organized.

How to set it up

  1. In the menu on the left, click on Manual Blockers.

  2. Click the blue button at the bottom right and choose whether you want to create a one-time or recurring blocker.

  3. Add a name, a time frame, and – if needed – customer details. Then click Continue.

  4. Select the resources you want to connect to this blocker – it can be an area, a resource, or a team member.
