Close for a day or part of a day

Close your whole location for a day, or close one staff member's day or slots, so customers can't book.

You can close the whole location for one day, for example on a public holiday. You can also close a single staff member's day or part of it.

Close the whole location for a day

Only managers and owners can do this. The option is switched off for staff users.

Pick the day

In the appointment calendar, go to the day you want to close.

Open Settings

In the side menu, click Settings, then Close the day?.

Close the day

Turn on Is closed for the day? and click Update.

To open the day again, turn the switch off and click Update.

Close one staff member for a day

Open the staff member's menu

Click the menu next to the staff member's name in the calendar and choose Working hours. A window opens called "Edit working hours for (name) on (date)". It changes only that one day.

Close or change the day

Turn on Is closed for the day? to close them for the day. Or leave it off and use Add times to give them different hours for that day only.

Save

Click Update.

If the whole location is closed that day, you see "Location is closed". Reopen the location in Settings first before changing one staff member.

Closures for staff with scheduled services

For staff who offer scheduled services (fixed time slots), the menu shows Closures instead.

Open Closures

Click the menu next to the staff member's name and choose Closures.

Choose a service

Pick the service. Each service shows Open, Partially closed or Closed. If there is only one service, it opens straight away.

Close all day or single times

Turn on Close All day to close every slot. Or close single slots with the Open / Closed switch next to each time.

Save

Click Save Changes. If you leave without saving, you are asked whether to discard the changes.
