There are two modes:

What it means

Standard Teacher Timeslot Availability

This is the default for all schools unless requested

If a Teacher is marked as unavailable for a time slot, any other time slots that occur wholly or partially at the same time for the same teacher will also be made unavailable.

For example:

There are three time slots for a teacher on 1st January, 2040, all starting at 6:00pm:

  • If the 10min slot starting as 6:00pm is marked as unavailable, any concurrent time slots that fall within or that include part of that time will be unavailable to book.

  • If a booking is made, and concurrent time slots that are fully or partially covered by this booking will be made unavailable:

If a Teacher is marked as unavailable for a time slot, any other time slots that occur wholly or partially at the same time for the same teacher will still be available to be booked.

 

For example:

There are three time slots for a teacher on 1st January, 2040, all starting at 6:00pm:

  • If the 10min slot starting as 6:00pm is marked as unavailable, the concurrent time slots that fall within or that include part of that time will be unaffected by the time being marked as available.

How the two modes work

 

 

 

 





These two worked examples explain how both modes work with standard mode making all timeslots for the teacher , across the whole event unavailable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whereas, when Timeslot Specific Availability is employed, availability can be customised to provide greater flexibility in regard to which timeslots are, and aren’t, available.

When the teacher is unavailable between 1.00pm & 3.00pm this unavailability applies across the entire event.

Timeslot Specific Availability Mode

Even though the teacher is unavailable between 1.00pm and 3.00pm in on block of timeslots, they are available for those timeslots in another block of timeslots at that same time.

Naturally, no matter which Timeslot Availability mode you use if a teacher is booked for a time slot, they are then unavailable for all other timeslots at that time, as the teacher can only be in one place at time and cannot be double booked.
