MENU
I'd like for the system to show to show when user's are available instead of unavailable. In addition, when submitting custom availability, if I leave a custom note such as " I am free to work at Location A, but due to travel time I would not be able to make it to location B / C. This would be helpful to see this from the schedule view, (rather than having to go into the individual employees profile to see their custom note)

Why should we implement this
The way your system currently is is tedious if I have to look through every single custom availability submission for an employee rather than being able to see it from the calendar vantage point. also it is more user friendly to see when someone IS AVAILABLE, rather than showing me when they are " Unavailable " |
Having this feature would greatly help management see when an employee is available to provide emergency coverage. Our staff works a rotating 12 week schedule with 2 weeks of 8 hour days. When the last 2 weeks of the schedule arrive, folks will let it be known they are available for shifts. Having this feature will make the "call out" much easier to see. ZMC/BPA
Agree! Also just from simple usability, if someone is available from 8-5 but your working hours are 6-10 you'd have to submit TWO "un" availabilities rather than simply one available time slot. On the availability input page, when you highlight the time, would be nice if you could just choose which you want to enter.
Further, unavailability is just not how people submit their hours so as a manager entering it in, I have to reverse it before entering it in which is an extra step for me. This system is very cumbersome. If it is just a matter of how the system is designed and the system thinks about it as unavailability, it should be able to calculate that based on what I input.
Lastly, on the availability input page when I put in a custom availability it isn't clear if you are adding availability or unavailability. It's crazy to me we'd be entering unavailability when we talk to employees and say "submit availability" and a tab that's labeled as availability and then for input it switches to something else.
