- Client Short Term- This option is used to enter short term NON Availability for the client. The short term option is usually used for dates of the year. For example: You would enter a short term if the client is going to be on vacation with their parents from Jan 3rd - Jan 12th.
- Client Long Term - This option is used for long term NON Availability for the client. The Long term option is usually used for days of the week and not particular dates of the year.

Employee Non-Availability
A great example of a long term NON availability for an employee is if the employee also attends classes while working. You would enter the employee’s class schedule as the non availability so that you don't schedule sessions during that time. You also have the ability to upload a document (like a class schedule or letter to keep on file as well)
