Availability is on by default. If your account has Scheduling and you cannot see Availability, it has been switched off deliberately. ⚙️
The gate works backwards
Most things in All Gravy are switched on by adding a module. Availability is the opposite: it is there from the start, and a separate opt-out setting removes it.
That matters when you are working out why something is missing. There is nothing to buy. Somebody has opted the account out, and it can be opted back in.
What it is for
Availability is how an employee tells the business when they can and cannot work, before the rota is written. It sits alongside Scheduling and feeds the planning stage, not the published rota.
Availability is not leave
Marking yourself unavailable is not the same as booking time off:
Availability is a standing preference — "I cannot work Tuesday mornings"
Leave is a request for specific dates, and it goes through an approval flow
If you need dates protected, book leave. Availability guides the person writing the rota; it does not approve anything.
