You can manually block or unblock dates on a listing via the Multi-Calendar. The selected dates will be blocked or unblocked across all booking channels.
A manual block is a flexible block, thus it can be overridden.
Note:
- A manual block, being a "flexible block" that can be overriden, will not block any multi unit's sub units. Therefore, it will not affect the number of unassigned sub-units you can see in the calendar.
- If you are using Smart Calendar Rules, make sure you mark the "Include manual blocks" checkbox under the relevant rule if you'd like to automatically block the dates on another connected listing. Otherwise, blocking dates manually won't trigger the rules.
- Confirmed reservations will automatically block dates on the relevant listing.
- The block will only cover part of the end date since most of that day isn't part of the reservation - as the guest(s) will only be checking out.
Tip:
Instead of dragging the cursor, you can click a date on the relevant listing and select a date range across one or more nights in the upper part of the pop-up. You can use this method to block past dates; click on a future date and then change the date range manually in the pop-up window to a past date.
Follow the instructions below to block dates manually via the Multi-Calendar or the Listing's Calendar.
