Skedulo Booking Application Release Notes v21.29.0

We have updated the appointment rescheduling and cancellation process so that the booking app now allows rescheduling/cancellation even after the appointment day/time has passed. These updates are given below:

1. The environment variable called CANCELLATION_LOCK_MINUTES that locked changes from being made to an appointment before a specified time period of an appointment has been now renamed to  CANCEL_APPOINTMENT_PRELOCK_MINS. The default value of this variable is  120 minutes.
2. We have introduced a new environment variable called RESCHEDULE_APPOINTMENT_POSTLOCK_DELAY_MINS. This variable represents the grace time period (or delay) after an appointment where modifications to the appointment are allowed. The default value of this environment variable is 0. The different state of this variable is described below:
   

   Value	Description
   0	Cancelling or rescheduling is immediately locked in post-appointment time. This is the default value.
   -1	Cancelling or rescheduling is never locked post-appointment time.
   N	"N" represents a time window in minutes after which the appointments can be rescheduled post-appointment time.  After this time period has passed, the appointments become locked.

The combination of theCANCEL_APPOINTMENT_PRELOCK_MINSand RESCHEDULE_APPOINTMENT_POSTLOCK_DELAY_MINS yields the following results:
