Allow Groups To Bypass Blocked Dates

ML Schedules™ K12 Facility Request Software provides District Admin with the ability to allow specified Group Classifications to submit requests on blocked dates/times via the Bypass Blocked Dates setting.

For example: Your district may want to allow District Staff groups to to submit requests during blocked dates/times, but not allow outside community members. 

This is especially useful if your district uses blocked dates to block off school hours during the week in ML Schedules™ Software. In this instance you may want to allow teachers to book rooms during the school day, but you do not want to allow community members to submit requests during those hours.

Important: Your district must use Classifications to enable this feature which can only be set by District Admins.
