  • Working windows per day
  • Preferred days off
  • Maximum hours preferences

Use

Bring availability into schedule decisions

Scheduling checks availability before assignment so managers can spot conflicts instead of discovering them after a schedule is published.

  • Availability conflict checks
  • Excluded records visible
  • Preferred locations considered
  • Manual schedule assignment support

Adjust

Save updates without changing unrelated people records

Availability edits are part of the Workforce planning layer, giving managers scheduling context without changing workspace access or unrelated HR data.

  • Save availability action
  • Workforce employee selection
  • Planning-only context
  • Reusable schedule input
