There are two types of busy time on your vcita calendar: synced events from your personal calendar and blocked time that you add in vcita. Both of these busy time options affect your availability and prevent clients from scheduling with you when you're busy! 

Synced Events

After you have synced your personal calendar to vcita, you will start seeing synced events appearing on your vcita calendar. The synced events appear with a (Sync) label. Clients will never see the details of these (or any) events on your vcita calendar when they are scheduling. 

Blocked Time

To add blocked time: 

1. Start in your vcita calendar and go to your Calendar.
2. Click anywhere in your calendar and select Blocked off Time from the dropdown.
3. By default, a busy block is created on your calendar. It will be the same duration as one of your calendar intervals. 
4. You can click and drag on the block to make it longer or shorter.

5. Or, for more options, click on the block to edit it. 
   • You can edit the start and end time.
   • Give the block a Title.
   • Give the block a Description.
   • Change the staff member the blocked time is for.

To remove blocked time (vcita blocked time only):

1. Click on the busy block in your calendar.
2. Click Remove at the bottom of the popup.

Block Time on Multiple Calendars

If you have a multi-staff account, you can block time on multiple calendars at once.

1. Start in your vcita Calendar.
2. Click the Schedule New button in the top left hand corner.
3. Select Blocked off Time from the dropdown.
4. In the popup, select the desired staff members from the dropdown using the checkboxes. 
5. Customize the rest of the fields as normal.
