Time Off Calendar
This article will show you how to use the Time Off Calendar to block off hours your business or specific locations are unavailable.
The Time Off Calendar allows you to manage when your business, specific locations, or certain product categories are unavailable. You can use it to block off holidays, yard closures, or product-specific downtime, ensuring contractors see accurate availability in their app. This feature helps you prevent scheduling conflicts while keeping your operations organized.

How Time Off Affects Your Operations
-
Contractor App: Time off events affect availability in the contractor app. Contractors won’t be able to schedule orders during blocked times.
-
Product Category Blocking: Allows selective blocking of certain products while keeping others available at the same location.
-
Dashboard Users: Time off events do not restrict dashboard users; they only affect the contractor app.
