Setting Multiple Availability Blocks for the Same Day
Multiple Availability Blocks on the Same Day
You can set more than one availability block on a single date as long as the blocks don't overlap in time. This is useful when you're available at different times of day — for example:
- Available 08:00–12:00 (morning only)
- Preferred 14:00–20:00 (evening, your preference)
How to add a second block:
- Go to My Availability (Sidebar → My Availability)
- Click on a date that already has an availability block
- The edit modal opens showing the existing block
- Look for the "Add another block" option in the modal
- Set the new time window and availability type
- Save — both blocks will appear on the calendar for that date
How to edit or delete an individual block:
- Click the date on the calendar
- If there are multiple blocks, a list of all blocks for that day is shown
- Click Edit or Delete next to the specific block you want to change
- Changes only affect that individual block — the other blocks on that date are untouched
Rules:
- Blocks on the same day must not overlap in time (you'll see the Conflict Resolution Modal if they do)
- Each block can have a different availability type (e.g. one block "Available", another "Preferred")
- Recurring patterns work per block — each block can have its own recurrence rule
Tip: The roster builder and AI can see all your blocks when making assignments. A shift that falls within any of your blocks will be matched to the most suitable one (Preferred is prioritised over Available).
