About Block Time and Standing Blocks

What is Block Time?

Block Time is used in the Appointment Book to designate when employees are not expected to perform their normal duties or when you do not expect resources to be available.

What is the difference between Block Time and a Standing Block?

• Block Time (created via the Appointment Book) designates time when employees are temporarily/suddenly unavailable due to a one-time event, such as running late or going home sick. You can also use this method to block off time for a resource via the Resource View in Appointment Book.

Note: Block Types must be configured in order to block off employee time or a resource.

• A Standing Block is a recurring block time for an employee and/or a resource.
