A new functionality has been introduced that allows administrators to block one or multiple resources on specific dates, preventing them from being booked on the selected days.
This functionality is available for Parking, Desks, and Rooms.
Resources can be blocked either from the resource list, by selecting one or multiple resources at the same time, or from the resource details.
During the blocking process, the administrator can also decide whether to keep or delete existing bookings for the selected dates.
Blocking from the Resource List
From the corresponding Parking, Desks, or Rooms list, the administrator can select one or multiple resources and use the Block by days option.
When this option is selected, a new window will open where the blocking settings for the selected resources can be configured.
In the Disabled days section, specific dates can be selected on which the resources will be blocked and unavailable for booking.
To do this, click the calendar icon and select one or multiple dates.
If you want to configure a recurring block, you can use the Period and Weekday Selection section.
First, specify the number of months during which the block should apply. Then, select one or multiple days of the week.
This makes it possible to automatically block specific weekdays throughout the configured period.
Before confirming the block, you must specify how existing bookings for the selected dates should be handled.
You can choose one of the following options:
Keep bookings: the resources will be blocked for new bookings, while existing bookings will remain unchanged.
Delete bookings: the resources will be blocked and any existing bookings for the selected dates will be deleted.
Important: These options are mutually exclusive, meaning only one can be selected.
Once the block has been configured, the system will display a confirmation window summarizing the selected settings. After confirming, the block will be applied to the selected resources.
Blocking from the Resource Details
Blocks can also be managed directly from the resource details using the Disabled days field.
The process is the same as from the resource list: one or multiple dates can be selected, and you can choose whether to keep or delete existing bookings.
After confirming the action, the changes will be saved automatically, without the need to perform any additional action to save the resource.
Viewing Blocked Days
The Disabled days list will be displayed in the details of each resource, allowing administrators to quickly check the dates on which the resource is unavailable for new bookings.
