Set up block-out time
Guide to configure break times to optimize schedules.
Zenoti has six default block-out time types such as Break, Leaving early, Lunch, Meeting, Personal time, and Running late.
At the organization level, click the Configurations icon.
Search for and select the Block out time types setting from the Employee section.
On the top-right corner, click Add.
Note
You can also search for an existing block-out time type and edit its details.
Enter a code, name, and description.
Tip
Since the block-out names are displayed on the Appointment Book, use short names so that the users can see the full name on display. For example, name a new Block Out Time Type as On-Site instead of On-Site with Customer as On-Site is shorter and easily visible on the Appointment Book.
Specify the color of the text in which the name of the Block Out Time Type should appear using Block Text Color.
