Your calendar and blocking time off

Reading your calendar

• Switch between day and week, and use ‹ Today › to move around.
• On a phone the week is a day-by-day list; on a computer it's a grid.
• Tap a job to open it. Grey ⊘ cards are blocked time.
• Blocks marked Private come from your Google Calendar - the app never copies the event's title.
• Under the calendar: Today's jobs and a This week summary.

Blocking time

1. 1

   Tap Block time (or the + on a day)

   

2. 2

   Pick the Date, Start time, End time and a Reason

   Reasons are Lunch break, Internal appointment, Personal time, Sick leave or Other. Add notes if you like.

3. 3

   Tap Block time

   Customers can't book you in that time.

Good to know

• A block covers one day, between 06:00 and 22:00. For a week off, add a block for each day - or, easier, add an all-day event to your Google input calendar (see Google Calendar).
• Blocking time doesn't move or cancel jobs already booked in it.
• To change a block, tap it, Remove block, and add a new one.
• Removing a Private block only removes the app's copy - delete the event in Google or it may come back.
• You can't drag jobs around the calendar. To move a job, open it and tap Reschedule.
• Your working hours aren't shown on the calendar - see Working hours and home base.
