How to Disable a Calendar Service
Disabling a calendar service temporarily removes it from your active offerings without permanently deleting it. This is particularly useful for services that are seasonal or not currently available. Here’s how you can do it:
Navigate to Calendars: Start by accessing the Calendars section within the CRM. This is where all your scheduled services and their settings are housed.
Select the Service: Identify the service you wish to disable. Each service will have its own calendar setup, so make sure you’re selecting the correct one.
Access Settings: Click on the 3-dot dropdown menu associated with the service you’ve chosen. This will open a menu with several options.
Disable the Service: From the dropdown menu, select the option to disable the service. A popup window will appear asking for confirmation. Click “OK” to proceed. Once disabled, the service will appear grayed out, indicating it is not currently active.
How to Enable a Calendar Service
When you’re ready to offer the service again, enabling it is just as simple. Follow these steps to bring your service back online:
Locate the Disabled Service: Go to the Calendars section and find the service you previously disabled. It should still be listed, albeit grayed out.
Access Settings: Click on the 3-dot dropdown menu next to the grayed-out service. This will bring up a menu with the option to enable the service.
Enable the Service: Select “Enable Service” from the menu. The calendar will be instantly re-enabled and no longer appear grayed out. This means it’s active and available for bookings once again.
