Black Out Dates

How to Manage Blackout Dates and Flexible Scheduling in CoachIQ

Managing your schedule efficiently is key to running a successful coaching business. CoachIQ makes it easy to block out unavailable dates and add flexibility to your scheduling. Here’s how you can take control of your availability.

Step 1: Accessing Blackout Date Settings

Blackout dates are perfect for holidays, personal days, or any time you want to ensure no sessions are booked. Here’s how to set them up:

1. Navigate to "Sessions": Start by heading to your "Sessions" tab in CoachIQ.

2. Go to "Settings": Click on the "Settings" option within the Sessions tab.

3. Add Blackout Dates: Here, you can easily add blackout dates to any of your scheduling availabilities, ensuring you won’t be booked when you’re unavailable.

Step 2: Customizing the Bullpen Combine Schedule (Example)

To demonstrate, let’s customize the schedule for your Bullpen Combine:

1. Open Bullpen Combine Settings: Go to the settings for your Bullpen Combine.

2. Add Specific Dates: Within these settings, you can specify dates that are either available or unavailable for bookings.

3. Adjust as Needed: Modify these dates anytime to reflect your changing availability.

Step 3: Leveraging Flexibility in Your Schedule

CoachIQ isn’t just about setting strict availability—it’s about giving you the flexibility to adapt. Here’s how you can manage that:

• Add Availability: If your regular sessions are every Tuesday at 5 pm, but you suddenly have an open slot, simply add that time to your availability. This helps you maximize your booking potential.

• Block Out Dates: On the flip side, if something comes up, you can block out dates so no one can book during those times.
