📌 Note: By default, your calendar is completely open. However, clients cannot book with you unless you enable online bookings. Learn how to activate online bookings here.

🕒 Two Ways to Manage Your Availability

In Noona HQ, you can control when clients can book appointments with you using:

  1. Opening hours — Set your general availability.

  2. Blocked times — Customize your schedule for breaks, holidays, and more.

Together, these tools give you full flexibility to manage your calendar.

1. Adjust Opening Hours

Clients can only book when there’s an available slot in your calendar. These slots appear in white. The gray areas are outside of your booking hours and are unavailable to clients.

✨ How to Edit Your Opening Hours

  1. Go to Settings → Calendar under the Schedule section.

  2. Adjust your default opening and closing times.

  3. Customize your calendar view by changing:

    • Time division (e.g., 15, 30, 60 minutes)

    • Zoom level for visibility.

✅ Once saved, your changes will reflect immediately in your calendar view.


2. Create Blocked Times

Use blocked times to manage personal breaks, holidays, recurring days off, or different working hours across staff members.

🔧 How to Create a Blocked Time

  1. Select the time slot where you want the blocked time to begin.

  2. Click “Create blocked time.”

  3. In the pop-up, customize:

    • Start and end time

    • Description

    • Repetition (daily, weekly, etc.)

    • Apply the block to multiple staff members if needed

🗓 Common Use Cases

Scenario

What to Do

Not working weekends

Taking a vacation

Set a blocked time that repeats daily until your return

Staff meeting

Lunch break every day

💡 Tip: Want to block a full day? Just click All-day — no need to set start and end times!


🙌 Why Blocked Times Are Powerful

Blocked times help you stay in control without restricting flexibility. You can still book over blocked times if needed — for example, to fit in a VIP or family member.
