▶️ Restricted Dates
Setting up Restricted Dates in Scribe Bookings is straightforward and allows you to specify dates on which customers will not be able to book your venue or space. This feature is particularly useful for special occasions or holidays like Easter Weekend, when venues might be closed or unavailable.
Add restricted dates:
- Navigate to Setup -> Restricted Dates.
- Select the '+' button to add a new restriction.
- Enter a name for these restricted dates.
- Select the date range applicable. If the venue will be closed for only one day, such as a bank holiday, input the same date into both date fields.
- If this restriction applies to all venues, tick the box 'Apply to all venues'. Alternatively, you can use the multi-select drop-down to choose specific venues this restriction applies to.
- Select 'Add'. Customers will then be unable to make online bookings for the specified dates.

As a bookings administrator, you have permission to override restricted dates and will see these dates listed as available for booking within the back-end of the system. However, customers will not be able to book these venues via the online webpage for the dates you've designated as restricted.
