You do not want to track any appointment options for this program.

Track basic day availability for this program. This would be days of the week that you’re open. The Exceptions section will allow you to block off specific days, like holidays.

Date & Time

Track basic day and time availability for this program. This would be days and hours of the week that you’re open. The Exceptions section will allow you to block off specific time periods, like a lunch hour.

Caseloads

Track day and time availability for this program, but also set a restriction of how many appointments you want to be ale to book within a certain number of minutes. This would be days and hours of the week that you’re open and number of appointments within number of minutes you’d like to schedule (e.g. 5 appointments every 30min). The Exceptions section will allow you to make exceptions where you increase your capacity on certain days or time periods.
