## ⌚Time slots intervals

Each of your appointment calendar can be configured using multiple time slots intervals. Time slots intervals are the day of the week and the start and the end time during which a respondent can take an appointment.

Using intervals you can easily setup time slots that would only include days of the week as shown below.

## 😎Holidays intervals

Holidays intervals let you define a set of dates that can't have any appointments.

## ⏰Time zones
