Events may be used to block out individual days in your diary or in another user's diary. One use for this feature would be to block out certain users diaries with each public holiday defined. This would prevent meetings from being booked with these users during public holidays. It would also help prevent those users from arranging appointments during those non working days.
To block out a user's diary with an event, do the following:
Bring up the Event property sheet by selecting the appropriate event from the Events dialog box and pressing the Edit button.
Select the Diary tab. Select the users whose diaries you wish to block out using the event.
Select the Block Out check box and press OK.
Blocked out days will be shown as dark grey in the Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Custom Appointments window, however this may be changed to suit your personal tastes. For more information, see Customising the Display.
