Where This Setting Is Available

What Is a Time Slot Interval?

The time slot interval determines how the appointment calendar is divided vertically.

For example:

• A 5-minute interval shows more rows and finer time blocks.

• A 30-minute interval shows fewer rows and a compact view.

This setting affects how appointments appear across Day, Week, and Calendar views.
