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

  1. 🔑 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).
  2. 📅 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.
  3. 🗓 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.
  4. ⏰ 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.
  5. ✅ 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.
