• When you click Create Event () on the Scheduler Calendar, Event start and end times are auto-calculated based on your current system time. When you double-click on Calendar rows for Resources, start times are set at the time where you click. In both cases, Event duration is based on the Default Event Duration field value in User Preferences. • If configured, Service Board automatically adjusts Event start times in cases where Travel Time to Location values for new Events conflict with scheduled times for previous Appointments or Events in the same work shift. |
