Are you going to be busy during a time that's normally marked available? Here's a quick solution for how you can block that time from showing up on your Appointlet scheduler.

To schedule a break, simply add an event to your calendar (recurring if desired) that spans the time you would like to block out. This will prevent your clients from scheduling events at that time.

For a vacation you can do the same by ensuring the event is busy and spans the full length of your vacation.

Important: Any events you create to block out your availability schedule must be added to a calendar selected as an Availability Calendar so Appointlet knows where to look for the busy events.

Open the Google Calendar you wish to use to block out your Appointlet availability. Select the day you wish to add an event to.

Select Event from the top navigation bar and add the hours you would like this event to block. We recommend naming the event as well so you can keep track of your scheduled time off. Once you've set up your event details, click More Options at the bottom right.

In the next window that appears, make sure to mark the event Busy.

To set a busy event in Office, select the day on your calendar display that you would like to block off. In the window that appears, you can change the time frame on the right hand side. But most importantly, be sure mark the event Busy from the navigation bar at the top.

Begin by clicking on a meeting type to open the editor. Select Availability from the left navigation menu and scroll to the bottom of the screen. Just below your current availability schedule, click the Add Another Schedule button to create an additional availability schedule.

This schedule will be used to override your primary availability schedule. To block out specific dates and times, switch the schedule to Date Range option. You'll notice that all dates within this range are automatically marked "Unavailable" so you'll need to carefully select the appropriate dates and times to ensure you only block out the desired time slots. We recommend giving this schedule a unique name like "Days Off" as a reminder to yourself and your team.

Save your changes once you've selected the appropriate dates. Any dates marked "Unavailable" in this new schedule will override the availability you've assigned to them in your primary schedule.

Please keep in mind that this will only affect the meeting type you're currently editing, but you can use the save and apply feature to apply this update to other meeting types as well.
