Hello,

my query is with the padding time, my sessions are 30 min long, and the padding time in between sessions I would like it to be 15 min.

The only way to do this would be by visualizing the calendar in slots of 15 min? This is a bit hectic as it makes it huge (the calendar). The only way I can find it to work is with 30 min slots, but that is a long time in between meetings…so it doesnt convince me.

Is there any way around this?

Thank you!

Reducing the grid increment is one way to have a shorter padding than duration. The other option would be to setup appointments for 45 minutes, which would have your 15 minute padding built in. As I mentioned I will talk with the product team on a future enhancement to only show start times, not every grid increment.
