Appointment lead-time, finish-time and slot-duration about django-appointment HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi, I will fix the #3 and then this one...

from django-appointment.

Hi @pdelporte,

Thank you for your feedback and the kind words about the app. I appreciate your interest in enhancing the system.

The way the app is structured currently, the lead-time, finish-time, and slot-duration are attributes associated with a staff member rather than a service. The reason behind this is to allow flexibility for staff members who might have varying availabilities and preferences throughout the week.

For instance, a staff member might have a different slot duration on Mondays compared to Wednesdays based on their workload or other commitments.

However, I understand the utility of having these attributes defined per service, especially if different services require distinct time considerations. It's an intriguing enhancement, but it would require a significant change in the current architecture and might introduce complexities in scenarios where a staff member offers multiple services with conflicting time attributes.

Regarding the minimum time between two slots (or interval time, as you mentioned), that's a feasible addition. I see how it can be beneficial, especially for services that might require preparation or rest time between sessions. It'll probably be in the next version release.

I'll consider these suggestions for future versions of the app. I always strive to balance flexibility with simplicity to ensure the app remains user-friendly while accommodating diverse use cases. Your feedback is invaluable in this endeavour.

Once again, thank you for your input, and please let me know if you have any more ideas or questions!

Best regards,
