Any Warehouse Admin User with the AddOn Permission to configure Time Slot Management settings.

In Logward's Time Slot Management System, each warehouse acts as a dedicated table, storing all booking records—whether for pickups or drop-offs—specific to that warehouse. A proper configuration of warehouses ensures smooth scheduling, optimized resource allocation, and improved operational efficiency.

Each warehouse can be customized in the following ways:

1. Holiday Calendar - Warehouses can have their own holiday calendars to account for non-operational days. You can:
• Define public holidays, company-specific holidays, or maintenance days, to prevent bookings on non-working days.
• Adjust holiday settings dynamically to reflect changes in business operations.
2. Ramps & Availability - A warehouse can have multiple ramps (loading/unloading points), each with its own settings. You can:
• Define individual working hours for each ramp to manage inbound and outbound logistics.
• Set up slot blockers to temporarily disable time slots for maintenance, peak-hour management, or other constraints.
• Configure ramp capacity to regulate the number of bookings allowed per time slot.
3. Role Based Access & Configuration - To maintain control and security, each ramp and each warehouse can be assigned specific roles, allowing you to:
• Designate permissions for different users or departments.
• Restrict or grant access to certain warehouse settings based on role hierarchies.
• Ensure that only authorized personnel can modify time slots, ramp configurations, and booking schedules.

In this series, we’ll take you through the complete warehouse configuration process, including:

• Adding a new warehouse to the system.
• Configuring holiday calendars and working hours.
• Setting up and managing ramps.
• Assigning roles and permissions for streamlined control.

By the end of this series, you’ll be able to customize your warehouse setup efficiently, ensuring a well-structured and optimized time slot management system.
