# Schedule restrictions

_Step by step to create rules that block invalid booking combinations (by service, breed, size, day and more)._

> **💡 Tip**
>
> Use **restrictions** to block combinations your store doesn't do (e.g. a service for a specific size or breed). It prevents wrong bookings before they become a problem at the counter.

**Schedule restrictions** are rules that **block certain bookings** — for example, not accepting a service for a breed, a size or on a specific day. They keep the front desk and the AI from booking something the store doesn't handle.

## The screen

Under **Settings → Schedule restrictions** are the created rules. Each has a **switch** (enable/disable), the **pencil** (edit) and the **trash** (delete). Click **New Restriction** to create one.

## Step 1 — New Restriction

In the **New restriction** form:
- **Name** — a name that identifies the rule;
- **Apply restriction** — where the rule applies (e.g. **On the calendar**).

## Step 2 — Build the conditions

Under **Restrictions**, combine the rule's conditions by clicking the **+** of each type:
- [**Service**](/en/configuracao/cadastros/criar-um-servico/), **Segment**, **Day of week**, [**Species**](/en/configuracao/geral/especies-e-racas/), **Size**, **Coat**, **Breed**, **Pet status**, **Age** and **Sex**.

The restriction applies when **all chosen conditions** match. E.g. *Service = Grooming* + *Breed = Poodle* blocks grooming for poodles.

## Step 3 — Description and save

Write a **Description** explaining the rule (helps the team understand) and click **Save restriction**. Then use the **switch** in the list to turn the rule on/off whenever you need.
