The Staff Availability function lets users schedule themselves as unavailable for any day, morning, or afternoon for up to twelve months in advance

When a user is scheduled for a job task, Clients & Profits checks their availability on the task’s due date. If the user is unavailable, the person scheduling the job is prompted to choose another person -- Clients & Profits X even proposes a backup person, which can be preset for each staff member.

Learn more about setting up staff availability and using scheduling subtasks in this Clients & Profits classroom video training session, with C&P Trainer Mindy Williams. Requires Apple Quicktime 7.0 or greater. Running time: 4:36
