# Schedule Management

After being verified as a service provider, users are required to complete relevant details for the convenience of targeted clients. To accept bookings after listing services, service providers are required to select regular available time-slots based on the days of a week. 

There is a time limit for the session created, with a **mandatory 15 minutes time-gap** in between every session for sufficient preparation to check-in for the next session:

* **Music education and collaborative musician:** Time limit of 60-90 minutes per session. 
* **Space booking:** Time limit of 60 minutes per session. 

If a service provider happens to provide all three services within the Y-Cucumber platform, **music education** and **collaborative musician** share the same schedule. If the service provider provides multiple services as a music educator or collaborative musician, the schedule can be still be organised in respective terms of services but sharing the similar time-slot. *For example, as a music educator, Mr M offers violin and piano classes. At the same time, he is also a chamber musician and an accompanist. Mr M can organise his schedule within his sessions but it would reflect the same schedule in all of the aforementioned sessions.* **Space booking** on the other hand, has an independent schedule. *If Mr M is also renting out a practice room while he is teaching another instrument, that would mean both schedules will overlap.* Hence, it is the responsibility of the service provider to ensure that the overlapping sessions can be managed if both are booked simultaneously.

## Custom date and time-slot

On certain dates of the month, in which the service provider will not be available (*e.g: public holiday, vacation, personal reasons, etc.*), the specific dates can be omitted via the **Custom date and time-slot** function.&#x20;

The **Custom date and time-slot** also serves a purpose under circumstances in which on a particular day, some time-slot which are usually available or not available on the regular weekly schedule has a different scheduling arrangement. For example, a music educator usually teaches between 2pm to 5pm on Tuesdays, but on the second Tuesday of every month, this music educator is only available for morning time-slots. Hence, the "Custom date and time-slot" will adjust the schedule to only accept bookings for the morning session on the second Tuesday of the month.&#x20;
