The grid display each time slot of the week. Available slots are marked in blue.

First of all, adjust the schedule grid granularity to the session length period - to make sure the granularity of the schedule matched the session length set in the calendar setting. For instance, 30 minutes or 1 hour slots.

You can then mark the days and hours in each day in which booking is available. Note that you can select a series of slots at once with the mouse.
