How to create an unavailable block#
For: Manager You’ll need: A person.
An unavailable block marks a window when the person can’t work but it’s not formal leave (no leave-balance accounting).
Open the create form#
Go to Planning → Availability list and click ‘Create unavailability’.
Fill in the block#
Pick the ‘Person’.
Open the ‘Unavailability type’ dropdown and choose ‘Unavailable’.
Set the start and end. An unavailable block doesn’t repeat.
Save#
Click ‘Save’.
Note
An unavailable block takes the person out of the candidate pool for its window in either availability mode — Mode A only means they don’t have to enter when they can work. See How availability gates the coverage candidate pool.
Verify it worked#
The block appears in the list with type ‘Unavailable’.
