Marking Days Off
Block a specific day with one click — choose how to handle existing bookings and available hours.
Last updated: April 4, 2026
What is 'Mark day off'?
Mark day off is a single-click action on the Daily tab that blocks an entire day for new bookings. It's the right tool when you need to take a specific day off but don't want to touch your normal weekly schedule.
Unlike Time Off (for multi-day vacations) or the Holidays tab (for official public holidays), day-off entries are single-day, user-confirmed blocks — perfect for a sick day, a court appearance, or personal time.
When to use it
Reach for 'Mark day off' when you need to block one specific date without changing your recurring schedule.
Common scenarios
- You're attending a court hearing on Thursday and can't take consultations that day.
- You're sick and need to cancel today's bookings.
- You have a personal appointment (doctor, family event) blocking half the day.
- You want to take a single day off without creating a vacation range.
How to mark a day off
From the Daily tab, navigate to the day you want to block. Click the 'Mark day off' button in the header. A confirmation dialog opens showing any bookings and available hours on that date.
The dialog adapts to your situation: if the day is empty, it just asks for confirmation. If you have bookings or available slots, it offers choices for handling each.
Steps
- Navigate to the target date (click the date title or use the arrows).
- Click 'Mark day off' in the header.
- Review any warnings, pick how to handle bookings and slots.
- Click 'Mark as day off' to confirm.
Keeping specific hours available
If the day has available hours, the dialog shows a checkbox list — one per hour. Every hour is unchecked by default (meaning all hours will be removed). Tick the hours you want to keep open.
Kept hours remain bookable even though the rest of the day is blocked. Use this for partial days — for example, marking afternoon off but keeping 9:00–11:00 open for a scheduled case review.
Use 'Check all' to keep every hour (effectively a soft block that only prevents new schedule-based slots), or 'Uncheck all' to wipe the day clean.
Handling existing bookings
If the day has confirmed or pending bookings, you'll see them listed in the dialog with client names and times. You have two options:
Keep bookings — the day is marked off for new bookings, but existing ones stay on your calendar. Use this when you can still honor the appointments but don't want new ones.
Cancel with refund — each booking is cancelled and the client is refunded according to your late-cancellation policy. Notifications are sent automatically.
Cancelling bookings triggers refunds and sends notifications. This cannot be undone. If you're uncertain, pick 'Keep bookings' first and cancel individually later if needed.
Re-opening a day
If you change your mind, navigate to the day-off date in the Daily tab. You'll see an orange banner at the top with a 'Re-open this day' button.
Clicking it removes the day-off block and restores the day to its normal schedule. Hours you kept open during the mark-off flow are preserved.
Day off vs Time off vs Holiday
Day off (this feature): single specific date, user-confirmed, with rose-colored dots in the month calendar. Good for one-day events.
Time off: multi-day ranges like a week of vacation — set from the Time Off tab, shown with sky-blue dots. Holidays: recurring national or regional dates with purple dots, set from the Holidays tab.
Each kind of blocked day shows a distinct color in the side-panel month calendar: rose for days you marked off, sky blue for vacation ranges, purple for holidays. Green dots mean you have available slots.
