When to use every-other-week hours

If you’re open for appointments every week, but the hours you’re open switch back and forth weekly, enter one set of hours as your regular weekly hours, then enter the other set of hours as every-other-week hours.

If you’re only open every other week, disable regular weekly hours, then set up one set of every-other-week hours.

Enter every-other-week hours

To set hours that only apply every other week:

1. In Acuity, click Availability.
2. If you have more than one calendar, click Edit availability/limits for one of your calendars.
3. In the Override hours for specific days section, click the date you want your alternating weekly hours to begin.
4. Click Until end date, then choose an end date that’s at least two weeks from the start date.
5. A field for each day of the week will appear. Enter your hours for each day.
6. Check hours every other week, then click Set hours.

Remove every-other-week hours

If you have regular weekly hours set, you can remove every-other-week hours by switching back to your regular weekly hours.

To remove every-other-week hours by switching to regular weekly hours:

1. In Acuity, click Availability.
2. If you have more than one calendar, click Edit availability/limits for one of your calendars.
3. In the Override hours for specific days section, click one of the days that has hours different from your regular weekly hours.
4. Click Switch back to regular hours, then click Yes, switch to regular hours.

If you don’t have regular weekly hours, enter new availability for each day, or use the Until end date feature to enter new hours in bulk.
