Service is the reason for the appointment. Services are visible on the Online Scheduler.
For each service you define the duration of the service. This duration allows to segment the time in a day to different blocks.
This means that if your service is 1 Hour long and your day starts at 8:00AM, the system will automatically show time in 1 hour interval like 8:00am to 9:00am, 9:00am to 10:00am etc.
