If you’re taking a day off, unavailable for part of a day, or observing a holiday, here’s how to quickly block off time in your calendar so applicants can’t book interviews during those periods.
How to Block Off Time in Your Calendar
-
🔑 Open Calendar View
- Log in to the Calendar View in the system.
- Select the correct user assigned to the interview calendar (e.g., Jim Hopper).
-
📅 Review Current Availability
- Check your existing availability (e.g., Monday and Tuesday at 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM).
- Decide which day(s) or time(s) you need to block.
-
🗓 Block Off a Full Day
- Navigate to the date you want to block (use the arrows to jump weeks if needed).
- Select the All Day checkbox for that date.
- In the pop-up, choose Block Off Time → scroll to the bottom → click Block Time.
- The blocked day will now appear unavailable in your calendar.
-
⏰ Block Off a Specific Time Slot
- Go to the date with the time slot you want to block (e.g., Tuesday at 10:00 AM).
- Hover over the time slot and click/drag to select the full hour.
- In the pop-up, choose Block Off Time → scroll down → click Block Time.
-
✅ Confirm Your Changes
- Refresh the calendar to verify your blocked times are correct.
- Example: Monday fully blocked, Tuesday still available at 12:00 PM only.
Important Notes 📝
- Use All Day for full-day absences (holidays, vacation days).
- For partial days, block specific time slots instead.
- Always refresh and review your calendar after making changes to avoid accidental openings.
🎉 Done! Your calendar is now updated so applicants can’t book during your unavailable times.
