How to set your availability mode

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#

  1. Open the account dropdown (top-right) and click ‘Settings’.

  2. Find the ‘Availability mode’ section.

  3. Tick or clear the ‘Set availability’ checkbox:

    • Clear it for always available (Mode A).

    • Tick it to track your availability (Mode B).

  4. 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.
