### **The Hours building block Settings** <a href="#configure" id="configure"></a>

The Hours block editor is composed of two editing screens: **Settings** and **Design**.

The settings in the **Settings** editing screen determine how your block will function and the **Design** screen will determine its aesthetics.

#### **Settings**

There are several aspects of your **Hours** block that can be changed in this screen:

* The **name** of the block
* The **icon** (or image) that will be used in the app menu
* The **Google Places** page the block is linked to.&#x20;

Should the need arise to keep the users of your published app from using this portion of the app, then you can always make use of the "ON/OFF"  selector.

Change the selector to "OFF" to keep users from seeing the **Hours** block. Now you can continue developing your app without worrying about users coming upon areas that you haven't finished developing as of yet. Once you are satisfied with your progress, change the selector back to "ON" to publish this portion of your app.

#### **Design**

These settings allow you to make aesthetic changes to your app in magnificent detail.
