Starting Concept - Time Span Types

Time Span Types are used to identify the various kinds of time spans that you will be scheduling resources with. aftonApi facilitates resource scheduling by attaching one or more resources to time spans.

Each time span is assigned one and only one time span type.

For example time spans could be:

Time Span Type: Meeting
Time Span Type: Appointment
Time Span Type: Rental Reservation
Time Span Type: Reservation
Time Span Type: Out of Service Period
Time Span Type: Maintenance Period
Time Span Type: Appointment
Time Span Type: Job Site Assignment
...

After you have created at least one time span type you can now start creating time spans and attach resources to them. You are essentially off and running at this point with the basic building blocks.
