Setting standard opening hours helps manage when users can view and book spaces at a location. These opening hours are displayed in the mobile app and web app, providing clear visibility to users. You can also optionally enforce reservation limits within these hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

Set Standard Opening Hours<\/h2>\n

Follow these steps to configure the default opening hours for a location:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Navigate to ‘Locations’<\/strong> in the main menu.<\/li>\n
  2. Select the location you want to configure.<\/li>\n
  3. Click ‘Edit’<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Open the ‘Opening Hours’<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n
  5. Add opening times by selecting a day, entering the start and end times, and clicking ‘Add’<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  6. Repeat this for all working days.<\/li>\n
  7. Click ‘Save opening hours’<\/strong> to apply the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: <\/strong>Any day without specified opening hours is automatically considered closed<\/strong>. Users will not be able to make reservations on those days unless hours are later added.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>

    <\/div><\/div>

    Add Custom Opening Hours<\/h2>\n

    In addition to setting default weekly hours, you can configure custom opening hours<\/strong> for specific dates.
    Custom opening hours override the default opening times for the selected day only.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Example:<\/strong>
    A location is normally open from 08:00 to 22:00<\/strong>, but on May 5th<\/strong>, the location will close early at 14:00<\/strong>. You can add a custom opening hour for May 5th to reflect this special schedule.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    To add custom opening hours:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Navigate to \u2018Locations\u2019<\/strong> in the main menu.<\/li>\n
    2. Select the location where you want to configure custom hours.<\/li>\n
    3. Click \u2018Edit\u2019<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    4. Open the \u2018Custom Opening Hours\u2019<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n
    5. Click \u2018Add\u2019<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    6. Select the specific date and enter the adjusted opening and closing times.<\/li>\n
    7. Click \u2018Save\u2019<\/strong> to apply the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Note: <\/strong>Custom opening hours take priority over default opening hours on the specified date, and if no custom hours are set, the default opening hours will apply as usual.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

      <\/div><\/div>

      Configure Closure Days<\/h2>\n

      If a location needs to be closed entirely on certain dates (for example, public holidays), you can add specific closure days.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Open the ‘Collective Closures’<\/strong> tab within the same location editing page.<\/li>\n
      2. Click ‘Add’<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      3. Choose the closure date and enter the closure times (if partial closure is needed).<\/li>\n
      4. Click ‘Add’<\/strong> again and then ‘Save’<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Tip: <\/strong>Collective closures override standard opening hours for the selected date(s).<\/em><\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>

        <\/div><\/div>

        Restrict Reservations to Opening Hours<\/h2>\n

        After configuring the opening hours and closure days, you can set the system to only allow reservations within<\/strong> the defined opening hours.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Navigate to ‘Settings’<\/strong> in the OfficeAdmin<\/strong> menu.<\/li>\n
        2. Scroll down to ‘Restrict reservations within opening hours’<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        3. Select ‘Restricted’<\/strong> to activate the setting.<\/li>\n
        4. Click ‘Save’<\/strong> to confirm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          When enabled, users will receive an error message if they attempt to book outside the defined opening hours.<\/p>\n
