4. Enter in the Name and Type of the blockout (type refers to its frequency, ie. Weekly, Yearly or a single event).
5. Complete all required fields. Next, select the Sections that you would like to apply the blockout to. You can select all sections, single sections, or even specific tables.
6. To apply the blockout to a specific table, select the Layout (based on your floor plan) in which the table is found, then add it to the Blockout Tables list.
7. Select Save. The blockout will now be enforced or will be scheduled on your selected dates and times.
