Workshop Software allows you to create a holiday for your workshop in the Booking Diary section. This holiday will make all mechanics unavailable for the day so nothing can be booked.
- Click on Admin (1) in the left hand sidebar menu and then click Schedule.
- In the Schedule card click the star icon in the top right and then click Create Holiday.
- Input the Date you would like the holiday to take place.
- If you want this date to be blocked out only in your online booking diary to prevent customers requesting a booking on a holiday date make sure the Public Booking Diary only toggle is set to Yes.
- Click Save to create the Holiday.
- You will see in your Schedule calendar the date you have set as a holiday will have all mechanic’s not available. In the below example we have set the 8th of June as a holiday and all mechanics have a yellow bar with their work hours blocked as unavailable.
- In your Booking Diary the monthly view will show each Mechanics bubble for the Holiday already full.
- The Day view will show yellow bars indicating that time period is unavailable.
- If you attempt to allocate a booking on that date you will receive a red error banner message saying Mechanic is unavailable during that time period.
Good to Know
- Make sure you click Save after making your changes. If you navigate away before saving, your changes will be lost.
