Weekly Preferences

Staff can be allowed to provide their upcoming availability themselves without a manager approval process. This is done using weekly preferences found under My Account > My Availability > Weekly Preferences.

Staff are provided with a view of a week (or multiple weeks) and can mark, on the current week's view, the times/days they cannot work. To mark a whole day as unavailable, click the day of the week. Weekly preferences only affect new shifts and do not change existing shifts. 

Weekly Preferences sets how many different weeks of preferences staff are stored. This can range between 1 -12 weeks.

* Weekly Preferences Reporting with remembered preferences disabled.
With rolling preferences disabled, shift availability reports will now display the contract default availability when searching for availability beyond the current weekly preference weeks.

When the preferences are updated, a historical snapshot will be saved. The system will save a snapshot of the new preferences after changes have been made.

The Availability report will then consider all of this and create a map of all staff's availability using your weekly preferences and contract rules.
