Learn how to change the employee scheduling settings for a location. You need the Administrator user role to access these settings.
How it works
With employee scheduling, employees can use OnLocation Mobile to schedule where they'll be working.
The settings can be managed at both a global and location level. An Administrator for a location can turn off the global settings and select the settings that work best for their location.
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
