Inheritance of settings

In the bookingtime software, you can make various settings that are then inherited by other areas. A particularly useful feature is the ability to set the time grid in the organization. This setting determines whether appointments can be booked at intervals of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or only every hour. This configuration is then passed down to the appointment templates.

This flexibility ensures that general settings are efficiently inherited while allowing you to make specific adjustments where necessary.

With this function of setting inheritance, you can manage your appointments more effectively and consistently while maintaining the necessary flexibility to meet specific requirements.

What does "inheritance of settings" mean?

Setting inheritance means that a configuration made at a higher level, such as the organization level, is automatically passed down to subordinate elements, such as appointment templates. This saves time and ensures that all subordinate elements have consistent settings.

Example: Time Grid

Suppose you set the time grid interval to 30 minutes in your organization. This setting is then automatically passed down to all new appointment templates. This means that when you create a new appointment template, the time grid is already set to 30 minutes.

Exception to Inheritance

However, it is also possible to individually adjust these inherited settings at the appointment template level. For instance, let's say you have a specific appointment template where the time grid should be one hour. In this case, you can manually change the setting for this specific appointment template without affecting the general organization setting.
