Managing your availability blocks

After setting up your availability, you can begin creating availability blocks. With availability blocks, you can view, add, update, and delete the times you’re available on your calendar.

In this guide, we'll cover:


Viewing your availability schedule

After creating availability blocks, you can view your available times directly on the Calendar or on the availability schedule.

From your calendar

When viewing your calendar, you’ll see white and gray areas that indicate your availability. The white area indicates your open availability, while the gray area indicates when you’re unavailable.

Once you’ve enabled Show availability, your availability blocks will be displayed as blue bars when viewing your calendar.

Note: The gray/white areas and blue availability bars are only visible when viewing a single clinician’s calendar in Day or Week mode. This applies if you’re viewing another clinician’s calendar in a group practice. If you need to view availability for multiple clinicians at once, you can select the team members from the All team members dropdown, then click the gear icon > View availability schedule to see all availability blocks in one place.

If you’d like to remove availability blocks from your calendar, you can click the gear icon > Hide availability.

From your availability schedule

If you’d like to view your availability schedule only, you can select the gear icon > View availability schedule. From here, you’ll see all existing availability blocks. You can click into each availability block to make changes, or click anywhere on your calendar to create a new availability block. To go back to your main Calendar view, click View calendar.
