How to set Unavailability from website?

Click your name at the top right corner and choose Unavailability from the list.

 

You can also access this page from their Dashboard by clicking the Unavailability tab.

Make sure you complete all of the following details for any set you create:

Naming your set (required)

This helps you differentiate between sets and/or also communicates to managers what the set is for.

 

Setting the start date

Let Sling know when unavailability begins. You will always need to indicate a start date.

Adjusting the frequency the set applies to

If you want to indicate unavailability for every week on a Thursday, you can set the start date as the current date and the end date as indefinitely.

 

There are options to repeat a set anywhere from each week to every 4 weeks, or never. To set unavailability for one day, use the drop-down menu to set the repeat option as Never.

 

Remember, if you are entering unavailable days that are only for a single week, then the set would never repeat, and you do not need to indicate an end date. Simply select the times for any day that week that apply.

 

Blocking off the appropriate days and times on the grid.

Make sure you block off the day of the week on which the date falls. 

If you only need to block off part of a day, you can click within the grid to set a block as short as 1 hour.

To adjust the times, you can click and drag the edges. The times can be adjusted in 15-minute increments.

Save your settings!

Most importantly, remember to click Save or Request when you're done adding info to a set.
