24h / 48h delay

[zebbez]

Hello Sergey,
Thanks for your useful application.
I'd like to add an appointment delay.
Example :
Between now and 24 hours or 48 hours => no possibility to make an appointment.
Thus, if the last appointment is ended at 13Hours, I'm sure to be free during the afternoon.

Regards

Some kind of "cool down" time-out after an appointment if I understand correctly ?

Hi Sergey,

I am interested in that functionality too. I would like people to make an appointment at least 24 (or 48) hours in advance. Otherwise people tend to book a slot that is in only 2 hours. To avoid that I have to spend time deleting non-booked slots everyday.

Thank you!

I think it's what "lead time" is used for, maybe we should explain that in a clearer way? Otherwise this PR #242 would enhance the available settings.

Booked/pending appointment buffers are added in v1.12.2 (Manage Appointment Slots menu)

It is possible to block-off a period of time before and after a booked(and pending) appointment. This could be useful when some preparation/travel time is required before or cleanup/cool-off time needs to be blocked-off after an appointment.

Buffer blocking logic:
