Step 3:

  • Fill out the corresponding pop-up. Please start with the beginning date and adjust the end date if necessary. Select a beginning and ending time to create a time block. If it is all day, check the All Day checkbox.  Required fields are highlighted with a red outline. If there is no recurring date, select none under Recur Date. Click save.

  

You may also create recurring blocks by selecting the recurring option and entering a Recur Until date.  For example, if you are unavailable every Sunday until 12 for the Spring Season: Your block would be created for the first Sunday in the Begin and End dates, with begin time of 00:00 and end time of 12:00 then select "Week" in the recurring options followed by the end date of May 31.  Individual blocks will be created for every Sunday from your Begin Date.
