Hello, we are using Amelia to manage bookings for a swimming pool. Effectively we have one resource for which we're taking bookings and planning events. When we plan an event in the pool, we are expecting that the calendar is unavailable for that time.
For example, we run swimming lessons on a Saturday/Sunday mornings, from 09h00 to 11h00. When this event is scheduled, we're expecting nobody to able to book and of our services, but we can see the time is available for booking. How do we make this time unavailable for appointment bookings?
Is this the right approach? If no, how should we be doing this?
If you're managing events and want to block the time slot for bookings, make sure to set the staff/organizer for the event to the employee (in this case, the person or resource responsible for managing the pool). By doing this, the time of the event will automatically become unavailable for other appointments.
This will ensure that when your swimming lessons are scheduled, the time will be blocked off for bookings, and no other services can be booked during that period.

Hello Graham,

Let me know if you need more help with this!

Thanks for the reply, and confirming that this is a feature.
However, I don't understand the response. How do I work out who is managing the pool?
