Block online inspection requests when your office is closed

From the inspections screen, you can add, remove, and edit calendar dates that you wanted to be blocked from accepting online inspection requests. Whether your office will be closed for a holiday or an unexpected blizzard, you can prevent inspections from being requested.

• In the left navigation, click Inspections
• Click Actions
• Select Block Inspection Dates

Delete or edit a blocked date

We have several holidays added to CommunityCore by default, however, you are able to edit these holidays or delete them if they do not apply to your town or office.

Add a blocked date

2. Enter the reason (for example, "New Year's Day) - this reason will be shown to a user when they try to request an inspection online, like this:
   

3. Select one jurisdiction or multiple jurisdictions

If you want to continue scheduling the inspection, click Yes.
