Types of Time Blocks

Different categories of time blocks serve various purposes:

Focus Time

Reserve dedicated time for tasks that require concentration, such as planning, training preparation, or project work, without appointment interruptions.

Break

Schedule lunch breaks, rest periods, or short pauses for staff members. Breaks help manage energy and ensure staff are refreshed between appointments.

Admin

Block time for administrative tasks such as paperwork, inventory management, team meetings, or other business operations.

Personal

Allow staff to block their own time for personal matters or appointments outside work.

Out of Office

Mark time when staff are away from the business entirely, such as offsite meetings, errands, or other commitments outside the workplace.

Recurring Time Blocks

Set up time blocks that repeat automatically on a schedule:

Managing Time Blocks

Edit, move, or delete time blocks as needed:

• Edit time blocks to change their time or duration

• Delete blocks when they're no longer needed

Time Block Permissions

Access to time block management varies by role within the organization.

Deleting Time Blocks

To remove a time block from the calendar:

1. Click on the time block to select it
2. Choose "Delete" from the action menu
