Define your active hours in Cal ID by creating a weekly availability schedule so meetings only appear when you’re free and personal time stays blocked.
Your Availability Schedule is the foundation of your calendar. By defining your “Active Hours,” you stay in total control of your time — meetings only happen when you’re available, while your personal time stays protected for family, breaks, and rest.You aren’t limited to a single set of hours. You can use one availability schedule across all event types, share a schedule between a few of them, or give each event type its own schedule to keep things organized.
On your main dashboard, locate the left-hand menu and click on Availability.
2
Create or edit a schedule
You can create multiple schedules to fit different needs.
1 — Create: Click + New to start a fresh schedule.
2 — Edit: To change an existing one, click the name of the schedule you want to update.
Choosing which schedule to work on
3
Confirm your timezone
Check the Working Timezone panel before setting your hours. Every time in this schedule follows this timezone, so it’s what keeps a booked slot lined up with your local clock.
Anchoring your hours to one timezone
4
Set your weekly hours
In the Weekly Hours panel, define when you’re bookable:
1 — Turn a day on or off: Use the switch beside each day. Days that are off show as Unavailable.
2 — Set the times: Pick a start and end time for the day, for example 9:00am to 12:00pm.
3 — Add a break: Click the + icon to add a second slot on the same day. Two slots of 9:00am–12:00pm and 1:00pm–5:00pm keep you unbookable over lunch.
Turning days on and carving out breaks
Use the copy icon at the end of a row to apply that day’s hours to other days, instead of setting each one by hand.
5
Save your changes
Once you have organized your hours, click the Save button. Your schedule is now ready to be linked to your event types.
Your schedule is saved and ready to link to any event type.
