How to create availability from a person’s employment type#
For: Admin You’ll need: A person whose employment type has per-weekday hours configured. See Employment types.
If your company defines per-weekday hours on each employment type (Mon 08:00–17:00, Tue 08:00–17:00, etc.), you can generate matching recurring availability blocks for a person from their page.
Generate the blocks#
Open the person from Company → People.
Expand the ‘Availability’ section.
Click ‘Create working time from employment type’. It only appears when the person has an employment type.
In the ‘Create working time from employment type?’ dialog, click ‘Create working time’.
Shiftavo reads the employment type’s per-weekday hours and creates recurring availability blocks for the person, collapsing identical day-patterns into single weekly rules to keep the data clean. You land back on the person’s page.
Verify it worked#
A confirmation names the employment type the hours came from, and the person’s ‘Availability’ section lists the new recurring blocks. They also show in the How to view the availability calendar and How to view the availability list.
