Mark preferred days

An employee marks preferred days on Availability in the employee portal. Preferred means those are the days you would like to work. Publishing a schedule does not create pay.

  1. Open Availability. On Home, the schedule card also opens Availability. The page says to drag days, then choose Preferred, Available, or Can't work.
  2. The calendar opens on the coming month. Use Today, Previous month, and Next month to change months.
  3. Select one or more days that are still open. Past days are disabled.
  4. The dialog is Mark this day, or Mark these days when you selected more than one. If Shift you prefer is shown, pick a shift or leave Any shift. The field says it is optional and used when you mark a day as preferred.
  5. Choose Preferred.

Days save on their own. Choose Submit when a scheduler should treat the month as submitted.

What you should see

The day shows as Preferred. The month chip moves to In progress. After Submit, the confirmation says Availability submitted and the chip says Submitted.

The dialog names the days, as one date or as a range with the number of days.

If something looks wrong

Past days stay disabled, so the mark dialog does not open. A past month says This month has already passed. Copy last month and Submit stay unavailable.

A locked month says: This month is locked. Ask a scheduler to reopen it if you need to make a change. See When a month is locked.

If the save does not go through, the message is Failed to save availability. On a day you already marked, the dialog can offer Clear this day or Clear these days.
