I would like your expert advice on how to organize the Amelia calendar.
I am running a travel agency and would like to use Amelia in order to create a reservations system.
We are offering multiple travel packages (like city tours, winery visits, car rental, yacht hire, etc.) and I need to adapt reservations according to the nature of each package or activity.
Do I need to create a separate and distinct event for each activity?
The time slot step defines how you can configure your Services, working hours, breaks, and so on. If you set it to be 5 minutes and disable "Use service duration for booking a time slot", for a 1-hour service you will see the calendar like this:
09:00 - 10:00; 09:05 - 10:05; 09:10 - 10:10...
If you set it to be 15 minutes, you'll see:
09:00 - 10:00; 09:15 - 10:15; 09:30 - 10:30...
If you enable "Use service duration for booking a time slot", the service's duration will populate the calendar, like:
09:00 - 10:00; 10:00 - 11:00; 11:00 - 12:00...
Also, for 5 minute time slot, you will be able to set your employees working hours, breaks and service durations in 5 minute intervals. For example your employee can work for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or 7 hours and 5 minutes.
For multiple travel packages you should create separate services, but each service needs to have a different employee working on it, since if one employee works on multiple services, and a customers book one, all other services will become unavailable during the duration of the first appointment.
Hello,

Is this the way to do it? > https://wpamelia.com/events-booking-view/
> Any other suggestions?

I am a little bit confused after watching the General Settings video tutorial.
Do I have to fix a Default Time Slot step for all services (events)? (see attachment).
I assume that for each event I would need a different Time Slot step + different service duration...
