1. Appointment Duration - How long is each appointment?
Example: I would like 15 min appointments
2. General Availability - When are you available for appointments?
Example: I just want appointments on Nov 2nd & 3rd, so I’ll hit the “Does not repeat” button and I’ll select the dates/times desired
3. Scheduling Window - Minimum time before the appointment start that it can be booked
Example: I want at least a 24 hour heads up before any parent/teacher conferences so I’ll select 24 hours.
4. Booked Appointment Settings - Manage max bookings per day & booking buffer time
Example: I want a buffer time of 5 minutes between appointments & I don't care how many appointments I have a day so I will keep that box unchecked.
5. Calendars Checked for availability - Any busy times on the selected calendars will be automatically removed from the booking window
Example: I would leave this off so calendar events don't conflict with the appointment schedule (If you have an event in your calendar that says your busy, then those time slots will be removed from your appointment schedule page
