Opening hours
The opening hours grid, day by day, with lunch break, closed days and special periods.
The Hours section sets your opening hours for each day of the week. They are shown on your public profile and on your Nova VCard, and have no effect on invoicing. If your business has no physical reception, you can leave the grid as it is.
What you will do
- Open or close each day.
- Set the opening time, the closing time and, if needed, a break.
- Copy Monday's hours to the other days.
Set the grid
- Open Settings, Hours section.
- For each day, from Monday to Sunday, the switch indicates whether the company is open. Switch it off to show the Closed badge.
- For an open day, click the first time to set the opening, then the second to set the closing. The picker works in 24-hour format.
- To split the day in two, fill in the two times of the « Pause » (break) area: end of the morning and start of the afternoon. Leave them empty for a continuous day.
- If all your days look alike, set Monday and then click « Copier lundi partout » (copy Monday everywhere): the six other days take over Monday's state (open or closed), hours and break.
The grid saves on every change; the Saved message confirms it.
Fields
| Field | Required | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Day switch | No | Day open or Closed on the public profile and the VCard |
| Opening time | If the day is open | Start of the day. Suggested value 09:00 |
| Closing time | If the day is open | End of the day. Suggested value 18:00 |
| « Pause », start | No | End of the morning |
| « Pause », end | No | Start of the afternoon |
By default, Monday to Friday is open from 09:00 to 18:00 and the weekend is closed.
The closing time must be later than the opening time and the two slots of the same day cannot overlap. The server refuses an inconsistent grid with the message "Invalid or overlapping time slot."
Special periods and days
On web.novadesko.com, the Opening Hours section adds a Special Periods & Hours block for holidays, exceptional closures and adjusted hours.
- Click Add special schedule.
- Choose the Start date and, for a period, the End date (optional).
- Give a Label (optional), for example "Summer holidays".
- Tick Closed all day, or fill in Opens at and Closes at for reduced hours.
- Add a Note if you wish, then click Add.
Each special day is deleted individually; Delete all empties the list after confirmation. The web also offers several slots per day (Add time slot) and targeted copying (Copy hours to the days of your choice, with the Replace existing time slots option).
Special days and the extra slots beyond the break are not shown in the desktop and mobile app. They are managed only on web.novadesko.com and are still taken into account on your public profile.
