The Date Override feature allows businesses to adjust working hours or slots for specific dates, deviating from regular schedules.

This feature is ideal for:

  • Holidays or special closures – Remove all hours on Christmas Day.

  • Extended hours during peak seasons – Add 7 PM–9 PM slots for pre-holiday rush.

  • Staff vacations or unexpected availability changes – Block a groomer’s availability for a week.

  • Mobile businesses needing location updates – Temporarily service a new neighborhood.

How to Set Up Date Override

Option 1: Add Date Override from List View

  • Go to Settings > Staff > Shift Management > List View.

  • Scroll down and click < + Add Date Override >.

  • Select the date(s) to modify: The system will display the staff’s regular hours/slots.

  • Adjust:

    • Working hours (update or remove entirely)

    • Service area (for mobile businesses)

    • Booking limits (salon businesses only)

  • Click Save.

Note: Overrides follow the working type (hours/slots) set in the staff’s schedule.

Option 2: Add Date Override from Calendar View

  • Go to Settings > Staff > Shift Management > Calendar View.

  • Single Date: Click directly on the calendar date to edit.
