How to make a block booking

Example: You need to limit some of the availability within your sports hall as exams are due to take place there. Block bookings are used for time-based activities only. 

1. Go to Calendars at the top of the dashboard.

2. Choose the time-based calendar you would like to make a block-booking on.

3. Select the time and click this area of the calendar.

4. Click Block Book.

Note: If you are not using "one click booking" and you highlight the orange squares individually, you will need to click Add block booking from the left-hand side of the dashboard once you have chosen the time you wish to block out. If your resource is set to having a single reoccuring activity, you can block a whole day by clicking the small B icon at the top of the calendar (Settings > Resources > Single reocurring activity). 

You will then need to enter information on the following:

Booking title - the title will appear on the calendar and on the booking details
Note - the note will appear on the booking details.
Select duration
Areas occupied - select the number of areas within this venue that this booking will cover. The number will include the area selected and cover those that appear after this area in the venue list.
Number of weeks to repeat for - repeat this session on the following days this week (over the next seven days) by the number of weeks entered. For example, if booking day is Tuesday and you click on Tuesday, Friday and enter the one week - a booking will also be made for Friday and the following Tuesday.
Book any available sessions - this will add any available sessions for the days and weeks selected, and skip those that have no availability.

Select whether you would like this to repeat on certain days.

5. Click Update.
