Cancelled appointments still block out timeslot

Cancelled appointments still block out timeslot

I haven't had to test this before, but I've just found a problem. I had an appointment in a certain timeslot, and that appointment was cancelled. However, Bookings won't let another appointment be booked in that slot - it makes that time unavailable until the appointment is deleted.

This is no good. That timeslot should become available if an appointment is cancelled (i.e. the time is now free). It shouldn't require a manual process to make it available (i.e. deletion of the cancelled appointment), and I also want to keep a record of cancelled appointments because it's important for me to see what clients/customers have been doing (i.e. I don't want that record deleted).

Can this be fixed so that a cancelled appointment does not block out that timeslot?

    • Parentheses in System Path

      Zoho WorkDrive includes a mandatory parenthesis with the organization name in the desktop sync client. This adds parens to the system path. Many command-line applications do not allow for the use of parenthesis, so if you want to use a file saved on WorkDrive in a command line you cannot. Most major document syncing platforms do not allow parenthesis for this reason.
