Where to find it
Calendar, then Your hours

Add your time off in Calendar. Customers can't book you during it once it's approved.

Add time off

  1. Open Calendar.

  2. Choose Your hours. On a phone, it opens as a panel.

  3. Under Time off, choose Add time off.

  4. Choose the First day and the Last day.

  5. For part of a day, clear All day and set From and Until.

  6. Add a Note if you want. Only your team sees it.

  7. Choose Add time off.

If your business asks for approval, the request waits and the panel says "Waiting for" the person who answers. If it doesn't, the time off is approved straight away.

See the answer

Your request in Your hours shows one of these:

  • Waiting for the person who answers.

  • Approved by that person. Customers can't book you then.

  • Declined by that person, with their reason if they wrote one. Choose Dismiss to clear it.

You get an email when it is answered. The Inbox, under Time off, also lists the requests of yours that are still waiting, under Your time off.

Change or withdraw a request

  • Choose Change beside the time off to edit it, then Save changes, or Keep as it was to leave it. Changing the dates or times of time off that was already answered sends it back for approval.

  • Choose Withdraw request while it is waiting. A box asks "Withdraw this time off request?" Choose Withdraw request to confirm, or Keep it.

  • Choose Remove on approved time off, then Remove time off, and you go back on the schedule for those hours.

Approved time off takes you out of the schedule. See Day, week, month and list and Your hours and time off.
