Slots, departures and products

Voyant says slot in some places and departure in others. They are the same thing. Here is how the pieces fit together.

Voyant Support

Three words get used around dates. They stack up like this.

Product

The thing you sell. "Berlin Cold War History Tour".

Schedule

The rule that says when it runs. "Every week on Mon, Wed, Fri at 10:00."

Slot, also called a departure

One actual date the rule produced. "Sunday 9 August 2026 at 10:00, 16 places, 14 left."

That is what every row on the Availability screen is. The product page calls it a departure, this screen calls it a slot. Same thing.

A product page showing six weekly departures above a recurring schedule that reads Every week on Mon, Wed, Fri
One schedule at the bottom, and the individual dates it produced above it.

Why it matters

Changing the schedule affects future dates. Changing a slot affects only that one date.

  • Cancelling one Friday because the boat is being serviced, change the slot.
  • Stopping Friday departures for good, change the schedule on the product.
