Blackout dates allow for the preventing of scheduling on one or more days outside of the standard allowed schedule. For example, if the default inspection configuration allows for scheduling from 8AM - 5PM Monday - Friday, however you will be closed on a Tuesday and do not want any inspections scheduled on this date, the blackout feature will allow for the blocking of scheduling on the date specified. Blackout Dates can also be used to prevent scheduling on days that a certain department does not perform inspections. For Example, if the Building department does not perform inspections on Fridays, this feature can be used to black out every Friday for just the Building section. |
