What is a block time and how to use it
Block times are used on the Appointment Schedule to mark an employee as unavailable to take appointments during that time. There may be recurring reasons for blocking times, such as employee lunches. Creating a type for the block time in this list will allow you to select it when creating the block time on the calendar.
To reach this list, hover over Schedule on the Menu Bar of Envision, hover over the Schedule Options, and select Block Time Types from the menu.
