Availability blocks

1. Block a room#

1. Open the form

   Go to Bookings → Availability blocks and press (+), or block a range directly on the calendar.

2. Fill in the fields

   Field	Required	Description
   Building	Yes
   Room	Yes
   Bed	No	Block one bed rather than the whole room, where the room has beds.
   Start date	Yes	First unavailable date.
   End date	Yes	Last unavailable date.
   Reason	No	Maintenance, owner use, hold. Fill this in — it is what makes occupancy reports interpretable.
   Note	No	Detail for whoever reviews the block later.

2. What a block does#

• The room cannot be booked for those dates.
• The block is pushed to connected channels, subject to their sync interval. See OTA connections.
• Occupancy reports count the room as unavailable, not as sold. See Occupancy rate.

Review long-running blocks. A room blocked and forgotten earns nothing and quietly drags the occupancy figure down.
