Lead Time

• The Lead Time feature allows the admin to specify the lead time for appointments. This ensures accurate scheduling and preparation by displaying only the slots that are available after the specified lead time. For example, if a user wants to book a 4 PM appointment on Friday, and the admin has set a lead time of 60 minutes, but the current time is 3:55 PM on Friday, the user will not be able to book the 4 PM slot. Instead, the earliest available appointment will be from 5 PM onwards.
