Steps To Block Off Time In A Calendar

For a variety of reasons, such as being out of the office or having something booked outside of your system, you may want to reserve time in your calendar that is not normally available. To block off time in your calendar, follow these instructions:

1. Creating Blocked Time


- Steer to your Calendar.

- To mark time as unavailable, click the date and time you want. The option to "Edit Appointment" will open up in a new window. By default, the "Status" ought to be set to "Busy."

- Exit the "Edit Appointment" window without clicking Save. You'll now see a 30-minute window time blocked off in the calendar.

- Click and drag to increase the time OR you can click back into the event and set the End Time to the desired time. This second way of doing it is especially useful if you have multiple days that you want to block off.

- Repeat for desired days and times you wish to have the time blocked as unavailable.

NOTE: Blocking time is done on a user basis. You can block time off in the User Calendar for your own User. (User A cannot block off time for User B.) Under Scheduling > Calendar, for example, I can block time off in My Calendar and the Teams Calendars I’ve been assigned to. I can view any of the other calendars, but can’t block time off *for* someone else in another calendar.
