• The item will be available 12:00 AM - 11:00 AM every day if the event is repeating. 

Applying A Day Part to an Item

Once your Day Part has been created, you can apply it to the relevant Items.

1. Log in to Connect and click Items in the left side menu.
2. Select Items from the menu.
3. Search for and select the item to edit. 
4. Select the Availability tab to apply the Day Part to the item or edit the item's availability. 
5. Select the Create button on the right side.
6. Select the Day Part toggle to choose an existing Day Part
7. Save the changes.

   • If a day part is being assigned, this must be set to No because it will not always be available. It will only be available within the day part parameters that are set on the item.
