Posting slots are the times of week a channel should post at. Once set, Ocoya suggests them when you schedule, so you’re choosing from your plan rather than picking an hour each time. Ocoya describes them as the weekly times this profile should use when suggesting scheduled posts from your queue.

Set them

Open Channels → ⋯ → Manage on a channel, then Posting slots. There’s also a shortcut from the post editor — Edit posting slots on a selected channel.
1

Choose the days

Slots apply to days you pick: Every Day, Weekdays, Weekends, or individual days.
2

Add a time

New posting slot time adds one. Add as many as you want per day.
3

Remove any you don't want

Remove slot on any entry.
Slots are set per channel, so your LinkedIn schedule can differ from your Instagram one — which is usually what you want, since the audiences behave differently.

What they do and don’t do

They suggest, they don’t publish. A slot is a recommendation offered when you schedule. Setting slots does not make posts appear at those times on its own — something still has to create the post. If you want posts to actually go out on a rhythm without you writing each one, that’s a workflow. See Create a workflow. They’re in the brand’s time zone, like everything else scheduled. Set the time zone first or your slots will be offset. See Time zones and scheduling.

Choosing times

A few slots you’ll actually fill beat a dense grid you won’t. Start with two or three a week per channel and add more when you’re consistently ahead. If you have analytics or knowledge of when your audience is active, use it. Otherwise start with mid-morning and early evening on weekdays, and adjust once you have a few weeks of your own data.
