How to Set Clinic/Hospital Closed Days
When your clinic or hospital is closed for a holiday, festival, or emergency maintenance, you can mark the facility as closed. This instantly disables slot booking for all doctors in your facility without altering their permanent weekly schedules.
When to Use Facility Closed Days
Facility Closed Days are ideal for scheduled holidays, national celebrations, weekly clinic closures, annual breaks, or unexpected emergency closures where the entire establishment is not operating.
- Public & National Holidays (e.g., Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti)
- Festival Holidays (e.g., Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, Eid, Christmas)
- Annual Facility Maintenance or Renovation Days
- Weekly Routine Facility Closures (e.g., Sunday Full-Day Closure)
- Emergency Weather or Infrastructure Shutdowns

Frequently Asked Questions
QDoes closing the clinic modify doctors' weekly schedules?
No. The closure acts as a facility-level exception overlay. Once the closed date passes or is deleted, every doctor's normal schedule automatically resumes.
QWhat happens to existing appointments if a closure is added?
New appointments cannot be booked on closed dates. Any existing appointments remain visible on the Appointments tab so receptionists can proactively contact and reschedule patients.
QCan I remove a closure if plans change?
Yes. Owners and Managers can click the Delete icon next to any closed date to immediately re-open booking.
