Managing Service Availability¶
This guide explains how to use the new Availability Templates system to manage your service schedules efficiently.
Core Concepts¶
1. Templates¶
Instead of editing every service individually, you now create Templates. A template represents a schedule pattern, for example: * Standard Workweek (Mon-Fri, 9am - 5pm) * Summer High Season (Every day, 8am - 8pm) * Winter Weekends (Sat-Sun only)
2. Service Binding¶
Once you have a template, you Link your services to it. If you change the template (e.g., extend hours), all linked services update automatically.
