The service and the consultant assigned to it have no set working hours. I want the consultant to add special days himself. The problem is that if Working Hours are not set, but special days are set, e.g. 30/10/2024 08:00-12:00, the status of this consultant is "Unavailable". When I add working hours to it, e.g. Monday 12:00-15:00, its status changes to Available. Why is this happening and shouldn't the status be different if only special days are set?
The behavior you're experiencing is due to how Amelia manages availability for consultants. When working hours are not set, the system defaults to marking the consultant as "Unavailable" because it assumes they have no regular availability.
When you add specific working hours, such as "Monday 12:00-15:00," it indicates to the system that the consultant has regular availability during that time, thus changing their status to "Available." In contrast, if you only set special days, like "30/10/2024 08:00-12:00," the system sees this as a one-time availability rather than a regular schedule, which is why the status remains "Unavailable."
To achieve the flexibility you're looking for, you may need to set a minimal working hour schedule alongside the special days. This way, the consultant will have defined availability for regular intervals and can also have the flexibility of special days without the "Unavailable" status.
If you have further questions or need assistance with settings, feel free to ask!

Thank you for your answer, I understand that setting only special days does not affect the functioning of meeting bookings on the client's side?

Can you please elaborate on what you are referring to and I will assist you with this?
