Here's how to block out time on your calendar, like an afternoon you're busy, so clients can't book you then.
Block out time
Tap Appts and choose the day.
Tap the + button and choose Busy. On iPad, the + is at the top of the list.
Tap the date. Busy time starts as one hour.
Tap the time, and set when you're busy. Tap the ✓.
Tap the ✓ on the date screen.
Tap the ✓ to save. It shows on your calendar as Busy.
More ways to block time
All day: turn on All day on the date screen to block the whole day.
Several days or times: use Add date and Add time. Each one is saved as its own Busy block.
Every week: turn on Repeat and choose the days, like a class you go to every Tuesday.
Notes: add a note to remind yourself what it's for. Clients never see Busy time or its notes.
When it stops clients booking
Busy time only blocks clients while Check availability is on. See How do I set my availability and working hours?
It doesn't stop clients requesting boarding, overnight stays or home sitting.
It never stops you booking. You'll just see an overlap warning.
If you have a team, add the team member who's busy under Team. Busy time with nobody on it blocks no one.
Change or remove it
Tap it on your calendar to change it. To remove it, open it, tap ... and delete it.
Busy, Holiday or a day off?
Busy and Holiday work the same way. Holiday is shown in its own colour, for time away. See How do I add a holiday?
To stop all bookings on a date, including stays, use special hours instead. See How do I add special hours or a day off?
