Once you have found a suitable member, you can browse deeper in their profile to further assess their deployment readiness. Some actions you can do with the member profile: Using the organization info displayed under “Member Details”, you can contact the member’s supervisor/liaison to confirm the member’s participation for an upcoming deployment.
You can also save important notes about the member in the Notes section to inform other logistics roles and/or coordinators.
Scheduling MembersAdding an AvailabilityOn the member’s profile, you can update the scheduler by either clicking “Update Availability” on the top right corner of the section, or select a date block directly on the calendar.
Add a new availability in the pop-up modal. Select a start and end date for the availability date range. You can do this by clicking on the date picker or entering a valid date in the date fields. Click on one of the three statuses for the selected date range. If you are setting up a deployment, you can enter a valid Task/Resource Request number. Once you have added all the required details, click “Save”.
You will see the selected date range and availability status highlighted in the member’s schedule. If you want to edit or delete an existing availability on the calendar, simply click on the date range on the member’s schedule and make changes in the Edit Availability Modal.
