Managing Blackout Types

Introduction

A blackout type is a period of time where a resource cannot be booked. For example, if you have a conference room in particular that needs to be cleaned every Friday from 8 to 10PM, you could add a new blackout type such as Maintenance that could be used to prevent anyone from reserving this room from 8 to 10PM on Fridays.

Use this section to manage your blackout types.

Note: After you create a blackout type, it can be assigned to a specific resource within the Resources module.
