Collecting availability before you build the week removes most of the back-and-forth later.
Open a collection
- Go to the availability area.
- Create an Availability Receiver for the period you’re scheduling.
- Add an Availability Announcement if you want to explain the deadline or anything unusual.
- Send it. Your team gets an Availability Request.
While it’s open
Availability Requests shows who has answered. Send an Availability Reminder to the people who haven’t.
Closing it
Use Close receiver when you’re ready to build. A closed receiver stops accepting answers, so close it only when you’re done collecting.
Using the answers
Submitted availability appears alongside each person in the schedule table, so you don’t have to check a separate list while assigning.
