Setting up block types
A block type is the reason shown whenever you block out time — Lunch, Annual leave, Training. Setting these up first makes blocking time quick and keeps the calendar consistent across your team.
Add a block type
Go to your settings and open Unavailable block types, then add a new one. Give it a name, a default duration to save time when it's used, and a colour so it's recognisable on the calendar.
Creating a block type with a name, default duration, and colour.
Retiring a block type
Archive a block type you no longer use. Existing blocks that used it are unaffected; it just won't be offered for new ones.
