Usage

Operating hours are composed of time slots, which indicate the hours of operation for a particular day. After you create operating hours, create time slots for each day. For example, if the operating hours must be 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, create five time slots, one per day. To reflect breaks such as lunch hours, create multiple time slots in a day: for example, Monday 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM and Monday 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM.

Time slots don’t come with any built-in rules, but you can create Apex triggers that limit time slot settings in your org. For example, you can want to restrict the start and end times on time slots to half-hour increments, or to prohibit end times later than 8 PM.
