  2. Choose a Team whose Availability you’d like to view/change from the drop down

  3. Click the gear icon on the right hand side

Set Default Availability

Change a team’s Default Availability

Change availability for a Specific Date

Request Time Off

Submit a request for a specific date or date range

View History

Track default availability changes, when they were made, and by who.

Teams can also manage their own availability:

FAQs

Will a Team’s availability affect my booking spots?

No, at this time, the team availability will not affect your booking spots (aka availability). We are just saving this info for Staff to use as a reference when scheduling their jobs.

If a Staff member changes a Team’s availability, will the Team get notified?

Yes, the team will get notified if a change has been made to their availability.

If a Team changes their availability, will Staff be notified?

Yes, all Staff will be notified when a Team makes a change to their availability.

Is it possible for me to approve any changes made by a Team before they are reflected in the system?

At this time, there is not an approval feature for when a Team makes a change. Staff will be alerted if changes are made and can make any adjustments if they need to.

Can the Availability Calendar show the availability for all Teams at one time?

No, the availability calendar your Staff sees only shows the availability for one team at a time. You simply select the Team whose availability you would like to see.

Can I disable the email notifications if I want?

Yes there’s two ways to do it:

  • Disable the email notification completely via the Settings > Emails > Email Templates page. This will completely stop the email notifications from being sent, so be careful!

  • Unsubscribe from the emails via the My Account link. This only stops them from being sent to you.
