Product closure modal This modal is opened from your Product Closures list as described here: Introduction to product closures

Let's review each component of this modal together.

You can edit the name setting of your product closure, for example, Winter Closure, Weekday Closure, or Monday Staff Training. 

This name is for internal use only.

You can edit the date range setting for the product closure. For example:

• Winter Closure: 12/24/21 --> 01/03/22
• Weekday Closure: 11/01/21 --> 02/28/22*
• Monday Staff Training: 02/01/22 --> 02/01/22*

*Your date range selections combine with your schedule selections to get the product closure that suits your needs. 

You can edit the days of the week for which the closure applies. You can close availability for your product Everyday, Weekdays, Weekends, or according to your Custom selections, e.g., Mondays only during the selected period. 

If you have any product configured with Timeslots, including timeslots for draft products, and have turned on the Apply To Specific Timeslots toggle, use the Timeslots dropdown menu to select the timeslots you need to adjust. This toggle is off by default.

Applying a product closure to timeslots Know the following: The Apply To Specific Timeslots toggle is not visible unless you have previously created Timeslots products. If you turn on the toggle, you can open the Timeslots menu to see all the timeslots that apply to those products at once. When you select one or more Timeslots products to apply the closure to, the Timeslots menu shows only those timeslots that apply to the selected product(s).   A product closure applies to all timeslots by default if the Apply To Specific Timeslots toggle is off. To block the full date in the booking calendar, select all applicable timeslots or turn off the Apply To Specific Timeslots toggle.

You can edit the products to which the product closure applies. Your options include:

• Select one or more products or categories by checking the box next to the category or product listing.
• Click the Select All button to have the product closure apply to all your products.
• Click the Select None button to save the closure without applying it to any products.
