A break is a gap in your working hours. You split the day into two blocks of time and leave the break between them — that's the whole mechanism, and there's no separate setting for it. Nobody can book into the gap online. Below you'll find how to make the split, what the gap does to the rest of your day, and how to make it come back every week.
How do I split a working day into two blocks?
Go to 'Settings' > 'Company' > 'Timetable'.
Click the green block for the day you want to change.
Click the link for adding times, under the times you already have, to put a second row in.
The new row starts where the previous one ended and runs for an hour, so change its start time to when you want to be back.
Click 'Submit', then choose 'Only this' for a single day or 'All future' from that date onwards.
If the two rows overlap, you'll get an error asking you to fix the times before it saves. To take a break back out again, use the delete icon on the second row and save.
What happens during a break?
The gap isn't working time, so clients can't book into it through the online booking widget. It doesn't count towards the hours your reports show as worked either.
Everything either side of the gap is unchanged. The two rows are still one day in the timetable, and the hours shown next to the clock at the left of the row drop by the length of the break.
How do I make the same break repeat every week?
There are two things to set, and they do different jobs.
Saving with 'All future' makes the split your pattern for that weekday, so it comes back every week until you change it. It also clears the times already saved for that weekday after that date.
The repeat menu inside the edit window sets the rhythm — every week or every other week — and you can have it stop on a date you choose.
A repeating day carries a repeat icon on its block, so you can tell at a glance which days are your pattern and which are one-offs.
