Introduction
This guide explains how to remove previously recorded exclusions (such as holidays, breaks, or other blocked time slots) within the system. Deleting exclusions is necessary when a previously blocked date or time slot needs to be made available for patient booking again. Once this action is performed, the affected time slots become immediately bookable.

Deletion Process
To remove recorded exclusions, follow these steps in the system's administration interface:
Navigation: Select the Calendar option from the left-hand menu, then choose the Exclusions submenu.
Selecting Exclusions: The list displays all previously added exclusions. Select the items to be deleted by ticking the checkbox next to each entry. Multiple items can be selected at once.
Initiating Deletion: After selection, click the "Delete selected" button.
Confirmation: The system will ask for confirmation in a pop-up window. Click the confirm button (Delete) to finalize the action.
Verifying the Result
Upon successful deletion, the system updates the list, and the deleted items disappear. To verify the change, it is recommended to check the Overview calendar. The time slots corresponding to the deleted exclusions (e.g., 12:00–12:30) will appear as free again, indicating there are no booking restrictions for those days.
Tips
Bulk Deletion: If multiple exclusions need to be removed (e.g., an incorrectly recorded week-long holiday), select all relevant rows and use the bulk delete function instead of removing them one by one.
Calendar View: If unsure which time slot has been freed up, check the calendar view immediately after deletion for visual confirmation.
Summary
Exclusions can be deleted under the Calendar > Exclusions menu.
Items can be deleted individually or in bulk using checkboxes.
After confirming deletion, the affected time slots become immediately available for booking.
