A staff member's hours decide which times can be booked for them.

Steps

  1. Open Settings, then Schedule, then Availability. You can also open More on the Schedule page and select Schedule settings.
  2. In Staff availability, choose the person in Staff.
  3. For each working period, pick the Day, enter Start and End, and set Effective from if the hours start later. Select Add period to preview. A day can have more than one period.
  4. To take a period away, select Remove next to it.
  5. For a single date, use Dated exception / Break / Admin: pick the Date, a Kind (for example Dated unavailable or Break), and the times.
  6. Optional: under Preview effective openings before saving, pick a Preview date and Preview service, then select Preview openings.
  7. Select Save availability.

Good to know

  • Save before switching to another staff member.
  • Copy recurring hours replaces the hours on another date, or seven dates, with one day's or one week's hours. Breaks and approved leave on those dates still apply.
  • Approved leave from Team already blocks booking. You do not need to add it here.
  • If you see "You can view these settings", ask someone who can manage clinic settings to make the change.
