Objective

The objective of this tutorial is to help you understand how to view and manage unavailability slots that you have already submitted. Having your availability up to date will help schedulers in your company assign to you only shifts that you are available to take.

Overview

Access from your: Desktop

Applies to: Employees

Things to know before you begin:

  1. You can create unavailability slots on an all-day or hourly basis.

  2. You can set hourly slots in 15-min increments. The maximum duration of an unavailability slot is 24 hours.

  3. You can submit unavailability slots for up to 1 year in advance.

  4. You can set up repeating slots.

  5. Unavailability slots cannot overlap with other unavailability slots.

  6. In the case that unavailability slots need to be reviewed by management, your newly-submitted unavailability slots will be in Pending status until it is approved or declined. You will be notified once the Pending slot has been Approved or Declined.

  7. Your management has the option to restrict the staff from adding, editing, and deleting their unavailability. This means that you can only view your availability, not submit new slots or edit and delete existing ones. In this case, contact your manager to communicate your availability changes.

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

  1. Viewing Already-Submitted Unavailability Slots

  2. Deleting Already-Submitted Unavailability Slots

Viewing Already-Submitted Unavailability Slots

Step 1: Go to Availability module from the top panel, as shown in Image 1.
