Set instructor availability for specific dates
Instructors can set a weekly default schedule and override individual calendar dates when something does not match that pattern. Customers only see bookable times that match the effective hours for each date.
Where to find it
Open Availability in the instructor settings (instructor profile menu in admin). Venue admins with access to the instructor can open the same page for that instructor.
How weekly default and specific dates work together
- Weekly default applies to every date until you change that date.
- A specific date replaces the weekly default for that day only.
- Dates you never change keep following the weekly default.
- If a weekly day is turned off, that weekday is closed unless you add a specific date with custom hours for that calendar day.
Set custom hours on one or more dates
- Scroll to the Specific dates calendar (below the weekly default).
- Use the arrows to open the month you need.
- Click one or more future dates in that month. Past dates cannot be edited.
- Set From and To for each time window. Use Add more hours if you need split shifts on the same day (for example morning and evening).
- If the selected dates already had different hours, saving applies the hours shown to all selected dates.
- Click Save on the bar at the bottom of the page. Specific date changes are saved together with the rest of the availability settings.
Mark a date unavailable
Select the date(s), then click Mark unavailable. Customers will not be able to book you on those days. Save from the bottom bar.
Go back to the weekly default
Select the date(s) that have a custom override, then click Reset to default. The day will follow the weekly schedule again. Save from the bottom bar.
What customers see
On the booking page, available lesson times follow the hours for that calendar date. If you marked a date unavailable, no lesson slots appear for that day. Simulator bay availability still applies as usual.
