Changing Crew Availability

Making a crew available/unavailable is different from making it active/inactive. You can assign an unavailable crew, but you cannot place it en route. See Activating a Crew and Making a Crew Inactive for more information on active/inactive crews.

To change a crew's availability, complete these steps:

1. Select the crew you want to change in the Crew Actions window. You cannot change an en route/onsite crew.

2. Select Availability… from the Actions menu. (In List view, you can also right-click the crew row and select Availability... from the context menu.) The Update Crew Availability dialog box opens.

3. Select the appropriate option to change the crew's availability.

• Available button to make the crew available

• Unavailable to make it unavailable

If you are making an available crew unavailable, select the Description field and add a brief reason for the change (for example, on break).

Note: The description text is shown in the description field until you set the crew back to available.

4. Click OK to confirm your change or Cancel to abort the action.

If the crew has been made unavailable, the Crew ID will be displayed in yellow as will the crew icon.

Note: You can assign events to both available and unavailable crews.
