What are Back to Back Interviews?
Back to back interviews are when a parent attempts to book an interview immediately before or after one of their existing interviews.
When creating an event, you can specify an optional "interview gap", which makes parents leave from 1 to 5 interview slots between each booking to prevent back to back interviews.

Back to back interviews aren't enforced when booking an interview on the school administration site, or if the booking is for the same teacher as the existing booking. A warning will appear that the time slot backs another interview, but the staff member can ignore it.
