How Seat Availability Is Calculated
Section titled “How Seat Availability Is Calculated”Seat availability is based on the Seats per class value configured in the calendar.
With the updated logic:
- Each confirmed appointment reduces seat availability by 1
- If an appointment overlaps multiple slots, only 1 seat is deducted from each affected slot
- A slot is blocked only when the total seat capacity is fully reached
- Overlapping appointments no longer block all related slots too early
This results in more accurate capacity handling.
