Create a series to restrict the validity of time slots
In principle, time slots apply independently of specific dates; they are only defined for weekdays and times. To restrict the validity to certain dates, use
Series. Series can be used multiple times and in different contexts.
Important: You can select times and days of the week in both
Series and Time slots . To ensure that these two functions work smoothly together:
- ALWAYS define the times in the time range and
- Always define the weekdays in the series.
E.g.: If, in a series, weekdays are entered for the available booking times of online bookings, the series of bookable days will be ignored entirely.
- Click on
Series >
New to open the input window. - Give the series a descriptive Name and select a validity period. The Preview window displays all the dates contained in that period.
Example: Table reservations 2025, valid from 01 Jan 2025 to 31 Dec 2025 - If necessary, enter Repetition intervals .
Example: Every week, every fortnight, every 3rd Wednesday of the month ... - If applicable, select individual Weekdays. The display in the preview window changes with each additional restriction.
- Remove individual dates from the series by selecting that date in the preview window by left-click and then click on
Remove. The date is moved to the left-hand window of the manually removed/added dates.
Example: Normally there are table reservations on Tuesdays, but not during the summer holidays. - In the left-hand input window, click on
Add to add either individual Dates or entire Date ranges that are not covered by the series definition but should still be included.
Example: Normally there are no table reservations on Mondays, but the Mondays in December are an exception to the rule.
Save your entry and close the window.
Important: If you previously selected weekdays for the time slot remove these settings!
