Availability Overview

The Availability feature allows users to submit timeframes that they are available or unavailable to work.

Users can submit, edit, or delete their submissions either on the Active911 web console or from the ActiveTeam apps.

Admins can also see who is available or unavailable for a specific shift when they go to the dropdown for a position on that shift. If a user has submitted availability for any time that overlaps with that shift, it will show up on the the dropdown.
