Getting started with the basic details

To get started, click on Create new calendar.

Note: Do you need just one availability calendar or multiple? One may be enough, but to give you a few examples of when you might need multiple calendars:

• If you have a completely different pattern of peak days vs slow days for different areas of your business, or;

• you want to have different quotas for different groups of staff (such as for Alpine or Snowboard instructors), or;

• you have multiple base areas with different hiring/scheduling needs.

To get started setting up your calendar, choose a name. For example, this could be "Adult Alpine" or "Base Location B."

Next, choose the start and end dates - these may or may not correspond to your season dates. The start date will be the earliest date available on the calendar that an instructor can select. The end date will be the last date possible that an instructor can select.

If you click Advanced options ▼ you'll see two new options, if you want to use them: employment type and primary discipline.

Lastly for the initial setup page is the type of calendar you want your rules to be based on: days or points:

• Days means that you can create specific rules around how many days an instructor needs to commit to.

• Points mean that you need to assign a specific number of points to each day type you create and then your rules are based on how many points an instructor needs to commit to.

Once you've filled in the details, we're just about ready to move onto the next step.
