 * Hi there,
    I am having trouble working out how to set the appointments settings
   to get the flexibility I need.
 * Basically my service goes for 60mins but I want clients to be able to book on
   the half hour, then the system should block out the next hour.
 * So I set the base duration to 30mins and service duration to 60mins but what 
   this does is change the time blocks to 60mins instead of 30mins.
 * Can you please help with how I can do this?
 * Thanks, janie

 * Hey there janiesc,
 * Hope you’re well today 🙂
 * Unfortunately this is not possible in the free version of the plugin.
 * There is a Durations add on in premium version of the plugin that would allow
   you to do this. With this add-on activated you can set Time slot calculus method
   in Appointments -> Settings -> General to Minimum time based appointment duration
   calculus which would allow your 1 hour appointment to display in 30 minutes blocks
   which means booking the 30 minutes appointment in 08:00 will allow your 60 appointment
   to be booked in 08:30 instead of 09:00.
 * Best regards,
    Bojan
