The calendar block length determines how often lessons can be scheduled. Available block lengths are:

  • 10 minutes (6 lessons per hour)
  • 15 minutes (4 lessons per hour)
  • 20 minutes (3 lessons per hour)
  • 30 minutes (2 lessons per hour)
  • 60 minutes (1 lesson per hour)

Lessons will always start on an hourly interval. For example, if the block length is 20 minutes, then lessons would be scheduled at 5:00pm, 5:20pm, 5:40pm, etc. Alternatively, a 30-minute block length would allow lessons at 5:00pm, 5:30pm, etc.

The block length can be changed at any time. Changing the block length later does not affect any existing lessons. It will only affect the scheduling rules for new lessons.

How to change the block length

  1. Go to Site Settings, and then click Calendar.
  2. Select an option from the Block Length menu.
  3. Click Save Changes.

Effect

After you change the block length, the calendar will display the new number of blocks per hour.
