Overview:

Blocking a day or a particular time slot in the calendar helps prevent appointments from being booked during unavailable timings.

Description:

Open the application and navigate to the Calendar or Appointments section. Select the required doctor profile if multiple doctors are configured. Choose the preferred date from the calendar view and select either the complete day or a specific time slot that needs to be blocked. Enter the start and end timings for the unavailable period if required, and add a reason such as break, meeting, leave, or emergency. Once the details are selected, save the changes to update the calendar. After saving, the blocked slots will no longer be available for appointment booking.

End Notes :
