Schedule

How to how duration and item length work

The schedule uses each item's configured duration to calculate the end time of a slot or booking. That means operators do not need to guess how long a session should occupy the schedule. If an item runs for 60 minutes, 90 minutes, or longer, the schedule uses that duration to determine how far the booking extends and whether it overlaps with another session.

  • The start time plus the item's configured duration determines the end time.
  • When rescheduling, the schedule only offers time options that fit inside operating hours and do not overlap conflicting bookings.
  • Closures are also checked against the computed booking window, not just the start time.
  • This is why correct item duration setup matters before trusting schedule availability.

Tips

  • Use Slot view for hands-on operational changes and broader views like Item or Asset when you need planning context.
  • Choose closures for recurring or date-range shutdowns and slot blocks for one-off operational holds.
  • Keep item durations accurate, because schedule overlap logic and open time options depend on them.
  • Review schedule filters before concluding a slot is missing; the booking may simply be filtered out.
