Global Blockers and Holiday Blockers

Global blockers allow you to block all or selected resources in a single step. This is particularly useful for public holidays or company holidays.

Only use global blockers if you are sure that you want to block every resource at this time, including those created in the future.

Normal blockers

  1. Create directly in the calendar by clicking and dragging

  2. Optionally nameable (e.g. ‘Holidays’ or ‘Closed’) -> Displayed in the calendar on the booking page

  3. Only blocks the selected resource

Create blockers for individual child resources

  1. Open the calendar and select the daily view

  2. On the left-hand side of the resource list, you can select the resource with child resources

  3. Click on the + to open the individual child resources

  4. You can create a blocker by clicking and dragging


Create global blockers

Global blockers allow you to block multiple resources at once. Here's how:

  1. Go to your account settings (click on your avatar in the top right-hand corner)

  2. Open global blockers Create a global blocker

    1. Assign a title (e.g. ‘Public holidays’)

    2. Set the time period

  3. Select the target group:

    1. All resources

    2. Specific groups

    3. Specific categories (e.g. meeting rooms, car parks)

  4. Save

All affected resources will then be displayed as blocked in the calendar.

Manage global blockers

  • Can be viewed in the account settings under Global Blockers

  • Display of all blocked resources per blocker

  • Individual blockers can be removed again in the calendar


Holiday blockers

Holidays can be entered automatically. How it works:

  1. Open the Public holiday blockers section under Global blockers

  2. Select a federal state (e.g. North Rhine-Westphalia)

  3. Select a period (e.g. 7 days, 30 days, entire year)

  4. Save

The system then automatically creates blockers for all public holidays (e.g. Christmas Day, New Year's Day, German Unity Day).


How do I enable bookings across blockers?

To enable bookings both before and after a blocker, you can proceed as follows:

  1. Open the relevant resource and navigate to the Booking Options tab.

  2. Click on Edit and open the Advanced Settings.

  3. Activate the Allow bookings across blockers function.
