Overview
Day Parts are created in Connect and assigned to individual items to allow for a change of availability for different times of the day and week. They can be created at the Enterprise level or at the Venue Level.

- Sold as Item: This flag identifies if it is sold as an item, or as a modifier. This option is only visible if the Enterprise is using Items as Modifiers.
- Start Date: This is the start date of the day part and only needs to be set if it's within a specific date parameter.
- End Date: This is the end date of the day part and only needs to be set if it's within a specific date parameter.
- Always Available: 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.
