FAQ

How can I use the Opening Hours set in my Business Listing?

To use the opening hours values from within your business listing, you will need to use the "- Please Select -" value within the Opening Hours mapping option which lets the integration handle the value of the property.

If you'd like to set custom opening hours, you can do so by selecting "Fixed Option" from within the mapping option.

Notes

• You need to select an Integration View to be able to produce structured data.
• The Structured Data are generated only in single page views of the J-BusinessDirectory component. The Category or List views are not currently supported.
