Time Blocks

Time Blocks are reusable time window templates. Instead of configuring the same days and hours for every schedule, create a Time Block once and apply it to any schedule.

What Is a Time Block?

A Time Block defines a recurring time pattern:

• Days of the week — e.g., Monday through Friday.
• Start and end times — e.g., 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
• Optional date range — e.g., only active during the summer months.

Once created, a Time Block appears in the time window picker when you create or edit a schedule.

Creating a Time Block

1. Go to Scheduling → Time Windows.
2. Click Create Time Block.
3. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., “Business Hours,” “Evening Promo,” “Weekend Special”).
4. Configure the days and times.
5. Optionally set a start and end date.
6. Click Save.

Common Time Block Patterns

Name	Days	Times	Use Case
Business Hours	Mon–Fri	8:00 AM – 6:00 PM	Standard corporate content.
Lunch Rush	Mon–Fri	11:00 AM – 2:00 PM	Menu board promotions.
Evening Promo	Mon–Sun	5:00 PM – 10:00 PM	After-hours advertising.
Weekend	Sat–Sun	All day	Weekend-specific content.
24/7	All days	All day	Always-active content.

Applying a Time Block

When creating or editing a schedule:

1. In the Time Window section, click Select Time Block.
2. Choose a Time Block from the list.
3. The schedule inherits the Time Block’s days and times.

You can still add additional date constraints on top of the Time Block (e.g., “use the Business Hours block, but only during June”).

Editing Time Blocks

Changes to a Time Block affect all schedules that reference it. If you update “Business Hours” from 8–6 to 9–5, every schedule using that block reflects the new times.

To avoid unintended changes, consider creating a new Time Block instead of editing an existing one.
