There are days when your company is closed, thus not available for events. Within MICE, it is easy to block days for requests. This ensures that clients are not able to request an event via the request for proposal widget.
How to block days for requests?
This can be done via all the different planning views:
Blocking days for requests is only available with MICE Pro.
