# Availability Set Up

When your customers want to book you, they can see your available slots based on the **team’s** **combined working hours.** This includes:

* **Business Hours** that define the broader team working hours or the default settings.
* **My Availability** tab lets each teammate set their personal schedule and override that default.

### Business Hours

Use Business Hours to set the team-wide default weekly schedule.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open Business Hours

Go to **Settings → Business → Business Hours** or use [this link](https://app.fotello.co/dashboard/settings/business/hours).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set your slots

Add the time ranges you want your team to accept bookings.

Add different slots by clicking the **+** next to a slot. Fotello gives you 15-minute time ranges automatically when you click the + button. To edit, just click on the timings. To delete the slots, click on the bin icon on the right of the slot.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Copy to multiple days

If your timings repeat over multiple days, you just need to set them once, then click the copy button <img src="https://3077795705-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9bFz3iNv5JjEmRK1wNQO%2Fuploads%2FBB64uIdZCIBvmO6tir0m%2FScreenshot%202026-02-26%20at%2012.38.01%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=6706b5a9-2b22-4f13-bc15-7cef4937d84c" alt="" data-size="line">.

Choose the days to copy to, then click **Apply**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save

Click **Save Changes** to update your team's default hours.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Business Time Zone: Your selected time zone shows on the right. Hover over it and click to go to the [Business Details](/business-details/branding.md#business-details) page. Change your preferred time zone there.
{% endhint %}

### My Availability

Use My Availability to set your personal weekly schedule. This overrides the Business Hours of your team and your availability will show up accordingly when customers want to book you.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open My Availability

Go to **Studio Manager → Availability → My Availability** or use [this link](https://app.fotello.co/dashboard/availability/my-availability).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set your slots

Add the slots you’re available for bookings on a particular day and copy over to the other days (same flow as Business Hours). To finalize, click on the Apply button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save

Click **Save Changes** to update your personal schedule.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Reset to default (optional)

Click **Reset to default** on the bottom right to turn off your personal availability. Your schedule will match **Business Hours** again.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Personal Time Zone: You can hover over your selected time zone and click on the [Personal Details](/business-details/personal-details.md) page to update your personal time zone. The changes affect how hours display and how booking slots are interpreted.
{% endhint %}

### Date overrides

Use **Date overrides** to set different hours for specific dates without changing your weekly schedule. This is handy for holidays, days off, or one-off dates when you work unusual hours.

Date overrides appear next to your weekly hours on both **Business Hours** and **My Availability**.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Add an override

In the **Date overrides** section, click **Add an override**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Pick the dates

Choose one or more dates from the calendar. You can apply the same override to several dates at once.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set the hours

Choose one:

* Turn on **Mark unavailable (All day)** to block the whole day for bookings.
* Leave it off and set the time ranges you're available on those dates.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save

Click **Add override** to save. Your overrides appear in a list where you can edit or delete each one later.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Date overrides only change the dates you choose. Your weekly hours stay the same for every other day.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://uni.fotello.co/availability-and-scheduling/availability-set-up.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
