How to set your availability mode#
For: Manager | Shift worker | Admin You’ll need: Nothing.
Shiftavo can either treat you as always available, or only schedule you when an availability block says you’re free. You choose with one checkbox.
The two modes#
Mode A — Always available (checkbox off): Shiftavo doesn’t check your availability blocks. Your manager can assign you any shift. The ‚Recurring‘ section on ‚My availability‘ is hidden and a banner explains you’re in always-available mode.
Mode B — Only when blocks say so (checkbox on): Shiftavo only assigns shifts that fit a recurring or one-off availability block. The ‚Recurring‘ section appears so you can enter your blocks.
Switch modes#
Open the account dropdown (top-right) and click ‚Settings‘.
Find the ‚Availability mode‘ section.
Tick or clear the ‚Set availability‘ checkbox:
Clear it for always available (Mode A).
Tick it to track your availability (Mode B).
Click ‚Save‘.
Verify it worked#
Open ‚My availability‘. In Mode A you see the always-available banner and no ‚Recurring‘ section. In Mode B the banner is gone and you can add recurring availability blocks.
