New Features: Availability Calendar and CSV Reports
We are excited to announce a new feature that has received quite a few requests recently: every user account within the system now has an availability calendar! This calendar allows dates to be marked as ‘blocked’ or ‘unavailable’, preventing them from being scheduled via the Rapid Scheduler or manually. There is also a new report for creating a team or church-wide list of unavailable dates.
Here are some screenshots to demonstrate what the new feature looks like:
Team leaders can access the availability calendar for their team members, or users can edit it themselves from within the “My Account” area.
To mark a date as blocked, simply click on the date - it is that easy! If you become available again, click on the red ‘X’ and the date will become available once again.
Notice how the Rapid Scheduler now honors the availability calendar by not scheduling someone.
We also added a CSV format to all reports, allowing the reports to be saved locally and imported into Excel or another favorite spreadsheet for any kind of custom report that you may require.
Enjoy!
