Date Overrides are for when your schedule needs to be different for just one or two days. They let you change your hours for a specific date without touching your regular routine. Pick any date you’re currently available and set specific hours for that day, or mark yourself entirely unavailable. Taking a half day next Thursday and Friday to do some last-minute shopping? Simply set an override on those specific days to block yourself off.

​
When to use this

  • Taking a day off: If you are going on a holiday.
  • A one-time appointment: If you need to be busy for 2 hours on a specific day.
  • Special hours: If you want to work on a holiday just for a few hours.

How it works

Overrides take priority. If your regular schedule says you are free, but your override says you are busy, Cal ID will show you as Busy for that date.
  • Temporary: Once the date has passed, your calendar goes back to its normal weekly schedule automatically.
