MSS Schedule Availability- Overview

Schedule availability allows the MSS users to specify the availability preferences of ESS employees for

• a single day
• week cycle preference
• future cycle

This helps the MSS user to assign the schedules based on the employee’s availability.

NOTE: Schedule availability is for employee’s availability information only and will not block a user from assigning a schedule to an employee.

Locked Date Period

If user has set up the locked period (limit the employees from changing their availability within defined days), ESS user cannot make any changes to their preferences (add/edit/delete the single day preferences, recurring cycle’s preferences, or future cycle) within the locked period. However, MSS users can still update the preferences regardless of locked date period.
