When you need to work out a time for a meeting with staff and/or students, the Availability search allows you to see all the applicable users' schedules so that you can ascertain a potentially suitable time for all involved.
All staff at the school have access to this feature.
To access, go to the 'Community' menu (people icon) and select 'Availability Search'.
Add the required combination of users that you need to ascertain availability for.
Click 'Search'.
The combined schedules of all included users will then display. You can hover over any items in the schedule to see who it relates to. You can also toggle the view to be via day, week, or month. It will default to today's date but you can move to any date via the date field.
There is also the option to switch to a grid view if preferred. Clicking 'Switch to Calendar view' will revert it back.
There are a number of actions that you can then complete in relation to the included users including sending an email or creating a Meeting entry etc.
