Closed dates let you block out periods of time when your business is closed.  Closed dates completely block bookings across your whole business.


You can create closed periods that are whole days or specific time periods.  You can create single or repeating closed dates.


There are many reasons why you might need to temporarily close your business for online booking:


  • public holidays
  • bad weather for the afternoon
  • scheduled maintenance on your resources
  • shutting down for a week over the summer to reward your lovely staff ?


Closed Dates override all other scheduling availability.  Customers will not be able to make online bookings for any of your Services during these dates.


Closed dates only prevent new bookings being made and do not affect existing bookings.

IMPORTANT: Please note that any existing bookings or events that are already in place when you create a closed period are unaffected.  Jezzam will not warn you if you create a closed period over any existing bookings. We recommend you double check the closed period in the admin calendar and any existing bookings or events that fall within your closed periods should be cancelled or rescheduling as appropriate.


Managing Closed Dates


Closed dates are managed in the Closed Dates calendar:


  1. Log into your Admin Panel
  2. Select Settings > Business details
  3. Select the "Closed Dates" tab


To define your Closed Dates, drag on the calendar and create your Closed Dates as required.


For example if you need to create simple single closed day, simple click on the Calendar in month view. In the closed date dialog, make sure that "All-day" is selected and click "Save".


Note that closed dates are effective immediately.


You can also create repeating Closed Dates and closed periods that cover just a few hours.


Jezzam gives you complete flexibility to create closed dates to suit your needs.



Note that if you create overlapping Closed Dates, Jezzam will simple merge these when calculating when you are closed. Although overlapping Closed Dates do not affect when you are closed, we recommend removing overlaps to make managing Closed Dates easier.
