How to hide or remove a session

Last updated 29 December 2020 04:36

The Hide Sessions feature allows you to block parts of a practitioner's session from showing as available to book online.

This feature is often used to quickly take availability offline (e.g. if a doctor calls in sick) or to hide times that you may want to only be available by phone (e.g. walk ins or weekend slots).

This guide will show you how to hide a session from being visible to be booked online via the HotDoc Dashboard.

  4. You can then adjust the duration, choose how frequently this will repeat (daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly), add an end date (or keep forever) and add a description for this hidden block. Once you have finalised the settings press Save.
