[Configuring Availability for Specific Booking Calendars](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/20qkwlXFOsE?wmode=opaque)

Each Booking Calendar can either inherit your **default profile availability** or **use defined custom availability** unique to that Booking Calendar.

We recommend setting your **profile availability as your standard schedule**. This makes it easy to update your regular working hours in one place. Use **Booking Calendar specific availability** only when a particular meeting type needs to be offered at unique hours that differ from the standard schedule.

This article explains how to customize availability for an individual Booking Calendar.

## How to Access Your Booking Calendar Availability Settings

[Section titled “How to Access Your Booking Calendar Availability Settings”](#how-to-access-your-booking-calendar-availability-settings)

1. Click **Booking Calendars** in the left-hand navigation menu.
2. Select the Booking Calendar you wish to edit.
3. Expand the **Availability and Location** section.
4. Select the **Customize availability** **and location** radio button.

Note

At least one host must be assigned to this Booking Calendar for this section to appear.

### Customizing Availability for Single and Multiple Host Booking Calendars

[Section titled “Customizing Availability for Single and Multiple Host Booking Calendars”](#customizing-availability-for-single-and-multiple-host-booking-calendars)

Depending on whether your Booking Calendar has a single host or multiple hosts, you will customize availability in slightly different ways.

## Booking Calendars with a Single Host

[Section titled “Booking Calendars with a Single Host”](#booking-calendars-with-a-single-host)

Upon selecting Customize availability and location, you will see two tabs you can use to customize your availability:

* **Weekly Working Hours:** Define your standard, recurring availability.
* **Date-Specific Overrides:** Use to adjust your availability for specific dates.

Please see the sections below for detailed steps on how to set [**Weekly Working Hours**](https://help.staticso2.com/human-engagement/booking-calendars/booking-settings/configuring-availability-for-specific-booking-calendars#defining-your-weekly-working-hours) and [**Date-Specific Overrides**](https://help.staticso2.com/human-engagement/booking-calendars/booking-settings/configuring-availability-for-specific-booking-calendars#use-the-date-specific-overrides).

## Booking Calendars with Multiple Hosts

[Section titled “Booking Calendars with Multiple Hosts”](#booking-calendars-with-multiple-hosts)

When a Booking Calendar has more than one host, you can **Customize availability and location** for:

* **All hosts:** Applies the same common availability and locations to all hosts on this Booking Calendar.

* **Some hosts:** Set the availability and locations that will be used for each host on this Booking Calendar individually.

  Caution

  **IMPORTANT:** If the Booking Calendar is configured to **Customize availability and location for some hosts**, individual Member Users can set their own availability.

### Defining Your Weekly Working Hours

[Section titled “Defining Your Weekly Working Hours”](#defining-your-weekly-working-hours)

The **Weekly Working Hours** tab allows you to define your standard booking schedule and the locations where those bookings will occur for this Booking Calendar.

## Modifying Your Weekly Working Hours:

[Section titled “Modifying Your Weekly Working Hours:”](#modifying-your-weekly-working-hours)

1. Click the **Edit** link in the **Weekly Working Hours** tab.
2. Use the Add and Remove icons to adjust the preset time blocks.
3. Define the **meeting location(s)** for each time slot by clicking the corresponding meeting location icon. (For more information on Meeting Locations, see the [**Meeting Locations for Booking Calendars article**](https://help.staticso2.com/account-administration/locations-rooms/offering-multiple-meeting-locations-per-time-block) ).
4. Click **Apply** to save the changes.

## Setting Your Time Zone

[Section titled “Setting Your Time Zone”](#setting-your-time-zone)

1. Click the **Edit** link in the **Weekly Working Hours** tab.
2. Click the **Edit** link at the top at of the pop-up.
3. Select the **Time Zone** from the dropdown.
4. Click on **Apply** to save the change.
5. Click on **Apply** in the pop-up to save the change.

Tip

You can use the **`iana_time_zone`** URL parameter to ensure a booking link’s availability is initially shown in a specific time zone.

For example, if you add **`?iana_time_zone=America/New_York`** to the end of your URL, the availability shown to guests will default to Eastern Time.

### Use the Date-Specific Overrides

[Section titled “Use the Date-Specific Overrides”](#use-the-date-specific-overrides)

The Date-Specific Overrides allow you to adjust your standard availability for specific dates. This is useful for accommodating events, holidays, or other instances where your regular schedule may not apply.
