Set up the Employee Scheduling add-on

About scheduling

With scheduling, employees in your organization can use OnLocation Mobile to schedule where they'll be working. You need the Account Owner user role to access these settings.

While enabling the add-on, you are prompted to select the global settings for all locations using employee scheduling. Settings include:

• Choose if bookings can be made for a full day or hourly
• Allow global roaming employees to make bookings at locations they are visiting 
• Limit bookings to the location's occupancy limit
• Prevent employees who have not made a booking from signing in
• Limit bookings to operating hours
• How far in advance bookings can be made
• Schedule visibility to other employees

Locations can opt to choose their own settings later.
