You are now able to create different Availability templates to use across your Carers and Staff. Once an availability template is created and saved, you can access the template from any Carer or Staff Avail tab.
CREATING AVAILABILITY TEMPLATES
To create the Templates, choose the Avail tab from any Staff or Carer profile. You will see there is now a button stating 'Add Regular Availability':
Once clicked, you will be presented with the following pop up:
You create your availability templates the same way as you add normal availability. Just click the relevant times and days, and you can also use the three symbols to the right of each line. Once you are happy, click 'Save Template'. You will them be promted to give the template you have created a name. Enter your chosen name and click 'OK':
You will need to repeat the above for all different templates you wish to save in your CareForIT system, clicking the 'New Template' button each time you need to create a new template. The below example shows a template created based on a two week rota:
