Blocking Off Time or Recurring Blocked Time not easy to do

Feature Request

I would love to block certain times off in the schedule and be able to block on a weekly basis until a certain date or indefinitely. I don’t really want to block off entire days, but that is easier that blocking certain times on a recurring basis - I have to do each day - that is difficult. I did see that I can change service windows, I suppose I could reduce the amount of bookings during that time, but there should be more of a master way to affect future days, etc. I think I see another person posted the same kind of feature I am requesting as well. Anything to make the scheduling robust and easy to use in different ways would really help! Thanks!

    Hey @s.monti , have you had a chance to look at https://app.scritches.io/online-booking/availability?

    This gives you recurring availability on a weekly basis, e.g. I am only available MWF, Mornings and Nights for drop ins, or only available weekends for Overnight Sitting.

    You can then set one off blocked time, such as vacations, sick, etc here: https://app.scritches.io/online-booking/availability?addTimeOff=true

    If this still doesn’t meet your needs, could you provide an example of a scenario where you would require something more flexible?

      Hi Lucas! I just started using the program, and would also love to have this feature! I work around my husbands schedule, and his schedule alternates. Week 1 he works Mon/Tues/Wed, and Week 2 he works Thur/Fri/Sat, and then the cycle repeats. I would love to have the option to schedule a recurrent block every other week!

      Hi there, just adding on my own example as I still don’t seem to see a recurring blocked time feature 😊 I need to block all services except for overnights, every Friday morning from 6-9 am. So having the option to set a weekly recurring blocked time specific to a day (and be able to check services affected) instead of having to edit each service would be very helpful!
