Schedule Overview templates are used to customize the schedule information that appears for interviewers and candidates for Loops. Having two different overview types allows you to customize what information is shared with each party (candidates and interviewers).
Candidate Overviews use the {{Candidate schedule overview}} placeholder in your candidate invites and email communications.
Interviewer Overviews use the {{Schedule overview}} placeholder in your interviewer invites.
