If you have a lot of availability but want to appear busier or more in-demand, hide some appointment slots with the new
Appear Busy
setting. When you enable Appear Busy
, you'll still see your entire availability in the Calendar panel, but clients booking online will only see some
of your time slots for each day.
You set the percentage of each day's slots that are hidden from clients. As the available slots are booked, they're hidden (and are counted as hidden). The number of slots displayed to clients will remain the same until your calendar starts to run out of slots. At that point, only the remaining open slots can be displayed.
Keep in mind that while the number of slots displayed will remain the same each day, different appointment time slots might appear on different days. For example, if you have four available appointment times and want 50% of your availability hidden, a client might see slots available at 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM one day, but 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM another day.
Setting it up
You can set up this new setting within an availability:
- Click for an availability that you want to modify.
- Scroll down to "Appear Busy".
- Set it to one of the available values.
As an example, here's how your availability would display on a day with 10 time slots, when 50% of availability is hidden:
