Step 2 Black Out Dates (Optional)

Purpose:  Creates a table of known dates that you will not have court. A court blackout date is based on the court and court schedule.

NOTE: Blackout dates are dates that are exceptions to the schedule such as holidays when the court is closed.  Weekends and other dates that are regularly unscheduled are not blackout dates.  Blackout dates are created prior to creating the appointments. If you attempt to create an appointment that falls on a blackout date, it will not be inserted into the schedule at the time the appointments are generated.

Blackout dates must be created BEFORE creating the appointments. If a date becomes unavailable AFTER the court appointments have been created, delete the date instead.
