Do you need to block off time that is normally within your availability? Whether it's for a day off or a few hours for a doctor's appointment, you can use your Spectora dashboard calendar to block off specific dates and times. This ensures Clients and Agents won't book you on the Online Scheduler during periods when you're unavailable.

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.
