Avoiding Double Bookings

User Manuals

Zimun is built to stop clashes before they happen. Here’s how it keeps your calendar clean:

1. How Zimun prevents conflicts

  • Only shows slots where staff are working
  • Checks linked resources, so rooms and tools aren’t double-booked
  • Hides times that overlap existing appointments

2. Checking availability

The booking page always reflects real availability. If a person or resource is busy, the slot simply disappears.

3. Example scenario

At “Relax & Renew Spa,” one therapist and one massage room are linked. When that therapist is booked, the room disappears from the picker automatically.

4. Tips for smooth scheduling

  • Keep working hours updated — they drive availability
  • Review service-resource links regularly
  • Use the dashboard colour coding to spot busy periods

Holidays and one-off overrides

  • Public holidays are detected from your organization address and shown as blocked days with a tooltip in all calendars.
  • If you open on a holiday, add an override set to “Open” for that date to remove the block.
  • To close a specific working day, add an override set to “Closed” and include a note — it appears like a holiday with your note in the tooltip.
  • Manage overrides in Settings → Organization → Schedule overrides; changes apply instantly.

5. Summary

Let Zimun handle the conflict checks so you can focus on clients, not calendars.
