Setting shifts and time off will affect how clients can book appointments.
If a Team Member is unavailable on a specific day or time due to sick leave or annual leave, or they simply don't work that day/time, you can use the Shifts section to manage this, and these dates/times will not be visible to the client on Marketplace.
How do I view shifts?
