Booking slabs define when bookings can be made. Each slab specifies a day of week, start time, end time, and optionally the maximum number of concurrent bookings. Slabs control availability on your calendar.
What Are Booking Slabs?
Booking slabs are time slot configurations. They define which days and times are available for bookings. For example, a slab "Weekday Morning" might be Monday–Friday 9:00–12:00. Only time slots that fall within an active slab can be booked.
How to Create a Slab
Go to Booking Slabs
From the Booking app, open Booking Slabs. Click "Add Slab" or "New Slab".
Enter Slab Details
Enter a name (e.g., Weekday Hours), select the day(s) of week, set start time and end time. Optionally set max bookings per slot.
Set Status
Ensure status is Active. Inactive slabs do not affect availability.
Save
Click Save. The slab is applied. Time slots within the slab become available for new bookings.

How Slabs Control Availability
When a customer or staff creates a booking, the system checks all active slabs. A time slot is available only if it falls within at least one slab and is not already booked. Slots are typically split by service duration (e.g., 30-minute intervals). Overlapping slabs can extend availability.
Editing and Deleting Slabs
To edit a slab, click it in the list and change the fields. Changes apply to future availability; existing bookings are unaffected.
To delete a slab, open it and use the Delete option. Ensure no future bookings depend on it, or reschedule them first. Deleting a slab removes those time slots from availability.
ℹ
Note: Slab time ranges should accommodate your service durations. A 60-minute service needs slots at least 60 minutes apart. The system uses service duration to determine slot boundaries.
