   Helpful Hint

   To the far right of the unavailability details is the pencil edit button, and the Delete button if you need to make changes, or remove the unavailability.

   

Once an availability has been added, a tile is added to the rota, and if you click on that tile, a context panel will display with all the details of that unavailability.

A manager with the Manage Employee Rotas permission enabled via the Access Permissions feature can:

• Edit an employee’s existing unavailability record. If a record is edited, the employee should receive a notification advising as such;
• Delete an existing employee unavailability record. If a record is deleted, the employee should receive a notification advising as such, including the details of the unavailability that was deleted;
• Add unavailability for the employee.

When a manager changes employee unavailability, employees will receive a notification letting them know via email and/or Swag if they have the app installed. Managers can also receive an email notification when an employee's unavailability changes by going to their Account Manage Notifications page and selecting the Email Me When an Employee that I Supervise is Unavailable to Work option.
