WORKING EXAMPLE: A ‘Time zone’ has been added with a start time of 08:00 and an end time of 17:00.  The ‘Number’ field has 3 assigned.  The ‘Type’ field has ‘Starts within zone’ selected.  A staff member on a shift from 09:00 to 18:00 requests absence and it is approved; this request will take one of the 3 slots as the time of their shift starts between 08:00 and 17:00.  A staff member on a shift from 07:00 to 16:00 requests absence and it is approved; this request will not take one of the 3 slots as the time of their shift starts before 08:00 which is the start of the zone.
