Schedule Configurator
The Configurator allows defining the temporal structure of schedules: holidays, days and time slots, automatic generation of slots, and customisation of specific slots. It is organised into four subsections:
| Subsection | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Holiday registration | Define holidays so that no available slots are generated |
| Days and time slots | Establish base slots to automatically generate slots |
| Customise slots | Adjust properties of already generated slots |
| Overview | View the configured calendar and access day-by-day editing |
