Objective

The objective of this tutorial is to help you understand how to add, edit or delete future availability.

Overview

Access from your: Android device
Applies to: Employees

Future availability is a one-time availability set for a specific date in the future. Future availability settings override your weekly availability on that specific date.

Important Point:

  • Once the future availability is saved, it will bring you back to the main screen for future availability where you will be able to view the status of your request.

  • The hours you will add will be marked as unavailable hours, which essentially makes the rest of your time available for work.

Things to know before you begin:

  1. Your manager must enable 'Staff can set future availability' under the Settings module to give access to their employees for using the functionality.

  2. If availability change requests effective date is set by the management then all the changes made for a definitive availability will only be effective accordingly.

  3. You cannot approve availability requests from the mobile app.

  4. If 'Availability must be approved by management' is enabled under the Settings module, you will have to wait for the management to approve your requested availability.

  5. Your manager must give access to the schedulers to approve availability by enabling 'Allow schedulers to approve availability' under the Settings module.

The scenario outlined in this tutorial consists of the following building blocks:

  1. Add Future Availability

  2. Edit or Delete Future Availability
