# Availability Calendar

Learn how to set up and manage your availability so clients can book consultations with you.

_Source: https://staging.leyapp.es/en/help/availability-calendar — Last updated: February 21, 2026_

## What is the availability calendar?

The availability calendar is where you define when clients can book consultations with you. It combines a weekly working-hours schedule, day-by-day adjustments, holidays, vacations, and external calendar sync — all in one place.

Only verified lawyers can set availability. Clients see your slots when booking, so keeping your calendar accurate is essential for receiving bookings.

## How to access the calendar

From your lawyer dashboard, click 'Availability' in the left sidebar. A side panel on the left shows a mini month calendar for quick navigation, and the main area shows the active tab.

Click any day in the side-panel calendar to jump to it, or click the month title to open a month picker.

_The five tabs explained_

## The five tabs explained

Working Hours: define your recurring weekly schedule — which days you work, time blocks per day (e.g. 9:00–13:00 and 15:00–19:00), session duration, buffer between consultations, and minimum notice for bookings.

Daily: see a specific day's hourly timeline with your working hours, bookings, and external calendar blocks. Click any hour to toggle it on/off, mark the whole day off, or download bookings as a calendar file.

Monthly: a color-coded month-grid overview. Holidays: choose to work or block each national holiday. Time Off: add multi-day vacation ranges. Calendar Sync: connect Google or Microsoft.

## Setting your weekly schedule

1. Go to the Working Hours tab.
2. For each day of the week, toggle 'Working' on and define one or more time blocks (e.g. 09:00 to 13:00).
3. Set your session duration (15/30/45/60/90/120 min), buffer between consultations, and minimum booking notice.
4. Click Save. Your weekly schedule now drives the slots clients can book.

Learn how to set your weekly availability: configure working hours, session duration, minimum notice, and save.

## Navigating dates

In the Daily tab, use the left/right arrows to move one day at a time, or click the date title to open a native date picker and jump to any day.

The side-panel month calendar on the left shows dots for each day's status: green for available, purple for holidays, rose for days you've marked off, sky blue for vacation ranges.

> **Tip**
> Keep your Working Hours accurate, then use the Daily tab for one-off changes. This way you won't need to edit your schedule week by week.

## Editing specific days

On the Daily tab, click any hour row to toggle it available/unavailable for that date only. Pending changes show a dashed border and a pulsing dot until you click Save.

If you need to block a whole day, use the 'Mark day off' button in the header — this is the right tool when you'd otherwise need to toggle every hour off manually. See the Marking Days Off article for details.

## Quick actions on the Daily tab

- Click slot → toggle available/unavailable (pending until saved).
- Mark day off → block the whole day with options to keep specific hours and cancel or keep bookings.
- Download .ics → export your bookings for the day, week, or month to add to any calendar app.

_How clients see your availability when booking_

## How clients see your availability

When a client views your public profile, they see only the slots you've marked as available. No working hours = no bookings. The slot duration they pick matches the session length you set.

Confirmed bookings appear in your Bookings section. From there you can approve, decline, or propose alternative times.

> **Note**
> If you've connected an external calendar (Calendar Sync tab), blocked times from Google/Microsoft appear in the Daily view with a lock icon and a provider badge. These blocks are read-only — to change them, edit the event in the source calendar and trigger a sync.

> **Note**
> LeyApp syncs with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. See the Calendar Sync article for setup instructions.
