Whether you’re taking a day off or need to step away for a doctor's appointment, you can easily block off specific dates and times using your Spectora dashboard calendar. This way, clients and agents won’t be able to book you through the Online Scheduler during your unavailable hours. It’s also a great tool to help you keep track of time off for your inspectors or support staff.


How to Schedule Time Off or Calendar Events:

  1. Click the calendar date you want to schedule the event on

  2. Select the Event button from the pop-up menu

  3. Name your event

  4. Click to expand the drop-down menu and select the inspector or support staff you want the event assigned to

  5. Adjust the date(s) and time for your start and end time

  6. Hit the Schedule Event button to save

💡 Tip: You always need to select someone for the event, even if you're a solo company!



Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will Clients or Agents see the Event when scheduling on the Online Scheduler?

    • Your event won't be visible on the Client or Agent side of the Online Scheduler; they simply won't see that time slot as available to schedule.

  • Am I able to create a recurring calendar event?

    • Unfortunately not. While you can create recurring jobs like inspections, there is no way to schedule recurring events at this time.

  • Why is it difficult for me to scroll down when choosing a time for the event?

    • If you're running into this and have a trackpad, we do recommend hovering your mouse over the time field and then take your two fingers on the trackpad and slide them upwards. Placing two fingers on the trackpad and sliding them downwards or upwards is the standard gesture for vertical scrolling on most laptops. This can help you to scroll within the time field.
