Service Durations define how much time a service requires.
The total time must be evenly divisible by the Appointment Interval. **The Appointment Interval is a very important setting.** It is the smallest unit of time recognized for the account. All service durations, business hours and staff hours are defined in multiples of the Appointment Interval. (See Administrator Business tab).

Open the Add option and select Duration The Duration is the number of minutes needed for the client in the appointment (Optional) Lead Time - number of minutes to block off on staff/resource schedule before client arrives (Optional) Post Time - number of minutes to block off on staff/resource schedule after client leaves (Optional) Enter a price.
