Appointment time range
This setting allows you to edit length for the time slot step, it determines the time slot step in which your appointments can be scheduled.

Appointment session duration
Using this setting, customers can book appointments for services during the default time slot.
As an example, if you select 60 minutes for the time slot step, then the new appointment you are adding will have a default time duration of 60 minutes.
