Summer holiday coming up, or July already full of bigger gigs? Block the dates once and every calculator respects it: no more manually declining requests for days you already know you can't take.

Two ways to close a date

Soft-blocked (and hard-but-partial-day) requests are never silently accepted: even on an auto-confirm calculator, they arrive as a normal open request so you make the call. See Accepting a conflicted date.

Each block also chooses Whole day or Event time only (once start/end times are set), and applies to All calculators or only the ones you pick.

Three ways to create a block

• From an event. Any event form has an Estä saatavuus laskureistani toggle (off by default; nothing blocks silently). Turn it on, pick the scope, time range, and hard/soft mode.
• Drag-select empty days on the calendar. Drag across a range in month view, then choose Block availability in the chooser that appears.
• The events toolbar. Open the ⋯ menu and choose Blokkaa kalenteri (Block Calendar) for the full editor: separate sections for Estetyt päivät (specific dates), Estetyt ajanjaksot (date ranges), and Toistuvat estot (recurring: weekly, monthly, or yearly), each with an optional time range and a customer-facing message per language.

The same recurring/range/single editor is also available per calculator, in Builder → Saatavuus (a Pro-gated tab), useful when only one calculator, not your whole business, needs closing. That tab also holds your weekly business hours; see Business hours.

Setting a default

Asetukset has a Saatavuuden oletukset card that pre-selects hard or soft for every new block you create; each one can still override it individually.

What customers see

A hard-blocked date is simply not selectable in the calculator's date picker. A soft-blocked date stays selectable, optionally showing your custom message, and the request goes through as usual.

Reading the calendar

Hard-closed days paint red on the grid, busy (soft) days paint amber. A whole-day block colours the entire cell; a block limited to certain hours only shows in the week/day time-grid views, plus a small Estetty / Varattu info chip in month and list views instead of painting the whole day.
