Setting Up Recurring Block Time
Rather than adding block time one day at a time, you can set up a recurring block time schedule for a provider directly from the main calendar or via the Provider Block Time option in the three-dot menu in the Provider calendar view.
To set up recurring block time:
Open the Provider calendar view
Add block time via the three-dot menu → Provider Block Time or by clicking and dragging on the main calendar
Select the block type (e.g., Personal, Sick, Break, Other)
Check Recurring to reveal the additional scheduling fields
Select the days of the week to repeat on using the Repeat On checkboxes
Enter an End Date for the recurring series
Review the confirmation line that summarizes the pattern (e.g., "Occurs every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday until [End Date]")
Save to create the recurring block
Editing or Deleting a Blocked Appointment
If you need to make changes to a previously blocked time slot or remove it entirely, follow these steps:
Action | Steps |
Edit | Click on the blocked time in the schedule and select the "Edit" option. A window will appear allowing you to change the time, date, or reason for the block. |
Delete | Click on the blocked time in the schedule and select the "Delete" or "Remove" option to simply delete the block. |
Editing or Deleting a Recurring Block
When editing or deleting a recurring block time, you will be prompted to choose between:
All Future — Changes or removes this occurrence and all future instances in the series
Only This — Changes or removes only the selected occurrence, leaving the rest of the series intact
A confirmation message will summarize exactly what was deleted. Block time can be edited or deleted from either the main calendar or the Provider Block Time popup.
