Add time off and clinic closures

Block a whole day or part of a day for one practitioner or the whole clinic.

For: Owners and administrators

Block unavailable time

  1. Open Clinic setup → Time off.
  2. Choose a practitioner, or choose Whole clinic for a closure.
  3. Choose the first and last date.
  4. For part of a day, add both a start and end time. Leave them blank for whole days.
  5. Add an internal reason and select Add time off.
DiaryCare time off page with clinic and practitioner blocks plus practitioner and date fields outlined.
Use Whole clinic for a closure or select one practitioner for personal time off.

What the numbers show

  1. 1A whole-clinic block closes matching times for everyone.
  2. 2A practitioner block affects only that person.
  3. 3Choose who the block applies to.
  4. 4Set the first date; add an end date for a longer period.
Good to know: Time off removes matching times from online availability, but it does not cancel appointments that are already booked. Check the calendar and contact affected patients yourself. If you remove a block, those times may become bookable immediately.
