When your campus is closed, or a room needs maintenance, you can block out dates by creating events to ensure you don't book anything during those times.
Tip
Use an event template to make reserving the rooms and resources easier.
Create tags based on reasons the campus might be blocked out.
Once you have tags, you can add them to your events.
Create an event that will act as a placeholder for the date(s) you want to block out.
Add the appropriate tag to the event.
Once you're taken to the event page, you can add the main rooms to ensure no one requests to schedule them.
If someone requests to schedule the rooms for an event, they'll create a conflict, and your Conflict Resolver can reject the request due to the block out.
Some events don't need to be shared on Church Center or your public calendars, such as a staff meeting, an AA meeting, or a wedding. For these kinds of cases, you can hide the event.
Check out this clip from Planning Center University.
Go to the Settings of the event to hide the event from the Calendar on Church Center.
