Masking or hiding availability for other shifts automatically when booking is made

Ava can automatically hide or mask availability that should not be allocated because of another booking at another time. This is done on the basis of shift type. Typically shifts might be of the types: Early, Long Day, Late, Twilight (evening) and Night.

Consider the case of a night shift. Booking a person to such a shift should automatically hide (or mask) availability for (in chronological order)
That day's Long Day, Late and Twilight shifts (the Early shift may optionally be masked).
The following day's Early, Long Day and Late but not Twilight or Night.

Consider the case of an Early shift. Booking a person to such a shift should automatically hide (or mask) availability for (in chronological order)
The preceding day's night shift.
That day's Long Day.

To set this up or adjust hiding overlapping or prohibited shifts:
