# clsAttorneySchedule



`clsAttorneySchedule` represents one attorney schedule or time-off row, including the attorney, reason code, duration code, and effective/expiration dates that define the absence window.* Saving the row also pushes an out-of-office appointment update through `clsAssignmentProcess`, so the business object coordinates both table persistence and appointment synchronization.



## Purpose

- Stores one attorney schedule entry with its reason, duration, and date range.

- Supplies lookup-backed schedule-type and employee data, validates future-dated ranges, and synchronizes the saved row to the appointment integration.



## Context

- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal.TableMaint`

- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`
