It may be necessary to add some important information to the Calendar page that will be shown along with bookings or you need to quickly block some period of time and indicate the reason.
That is why we have launched a new option Calendar Notes with time blocking functionality that makes it possible and now you can keep all the necessary things at hand.



How to use
1. By default there is one note type added for you in the system, but you can go to Manage -> Calendar Notes Types to add new note types and set the desirable colors for them.

2. When all types are ready for use navigate to Calendar page using the left-side menu.



3. Switch to Add note/Block time mode in the top right corner.

5. Check Time is blocked option to close the availability if needed, add the details to the textbox and select the assignee: you can add a note or close time per specific provider, service or everyone.
