Review Availability Templates

Employees can create availability templates in DCI so that supervisors know when they are available to work. Availability templates must be approved by a supervisor when created and when edited. If the availability template is approved, supervisors are unable to schedule an employee outside of their approved availability templates. 

*Please note: An alternate option is to view the employee's availability template but not approve it. The result is that the supervisor will not be restricted when scheduling the employee.

Review an Employee’s Availability Template

1. Log in to personal profile
2. Click Scheduling on the main menu
3. Click Availability Templates on the submenu
4. Use the filters to locate the desired employee’s availability template(s), or simply scroll through the table.
5. Click anywhere in the results row to open the Availability Template Details page
6. After reviewing the template, go back to the Availability Templates page.
   1. Click the A to approve the template
   2. Click the red R to reject the template
   3. OR view the employee's availability template but do not take action. The result is that the supervisor will not be restricted when scheduling the employee.
7. Return to the Availability Templates page at any time to view an employee’s availability
