Overview

Introducing the My Availability feature in the Rosterfy Mobile App. Volunteers can now effortlessly manage their availability by adding or removing time slots directly within the app. This enhancement not only saves volunteers time but also provides you with the most current information for effective scheduling.

 


Availability Feature

We’re excited to introduce the My Availability feature to help volunteers better manage their availability directly from the app.

A new My Availability option is now available from the hamburger menu, when enabled. 

Clicking this option navigates users directly to the Availability Setup page, where they can view, add or update their availability for each day of the week.

As well as manage any availability exceptions with ease, as the system validates date and time logic to prevent errors. 

All changes to availability sync automatically between the app and the desktop volunteer portal.

Users who try to apply for a shift that overlaps with their unavailable time will receive a warning, to help them make informed decisions, before they apply to the shift.

Note: This feature is only available to users with simple mode availability. Any users using advanced mode for availability will need to continue to use the desktop volunteer portal for their availability needs.

 


Enabling the Availability Feature

Access to the availability feature, is controlled via Checkpoint Permissions. 

When the checkbox for Can Access Availability Functionality? is ticked, users will have access to My Availability in both the desktop volunteer portal and the mobile app.
