The scheduling tool's calendar system allows users to arrange a set of meetings within an 8-hour day. The feature takes into account two types of meetings: on-site meetings and off-site meetings.
For on-site meetings, the feature enables users to schedule them back-to-back with no gaps in between.
For off-site meetings, the feature automatically pads 30 minutes of travel time to either end of the meeting. If there are back-to-back off-site meetings, the travel time can overlap, but it can also extend past the start and end of the day.
If the set of meetings cannot fit into the 8-hour day, the feature will notify the user.
Example 1:
{
{ name: “Meeting 1”, duration: 1.5, type: :onsite },
{ name: “Meeting 2”, duration: 2, type: :offsite },
{ name: “Meeting 3”, duration: 1, type: :onsite },
{ name: “Meeting 4”, duration: 1, type: :offsite },
{ name: “Meeting 5”, duration: 1, type: :offsite },
