* The '''Existing bookings overlap''' option prevents a client from booking a service if its time slot overlaps with any other active booking they already have. This ensures a client cannot have two active bookings concurrently, preventing double-bookings.

* The '''Same Day''' option prevents a client from booking a new service if they already have any active booking on the same calendar day. This limits a client to one booking per day, regardless of the time or duration of the appointment.

* The '''Same Week''' option prevents a client from booking a new service if they already have any active booking within the same calendar week. This limits a client to one booking per week, regardless of the specific day or time.

* The '''Custom Period''' option prevents a client from booking new services for a specified duration both before and after their existing bookings. For instance, if a client has a booking from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM and the restriction is 2 hours, they won't be able to make new reservations between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM on that day. This helps manage booking frequency and ensures adequate spacing between appointments.

:5. If you need to set the limit for certain service please navigate to Manage//Services(Classes) page, choose "More options" tab and set the desired number per service/class. You fill find both options there: per timeslot and per client
