What are Time-off categories?
In AmionNext, the Time-off Categories section of the Amion Manager Settings activity allows schedulers to manage the categories for time off. Time-off categories are also known as "off-schedule" services, which allow to schedule times when staff member will not be working.
Time-off categories make scheduling easier by only staff members eligible to work that service/shift. Additionally, schedulers can generate reports from time off categories like CME or vacation to aid in planning future schedules.
Create a new time-off category
To create a new time-off category:
- Click the Add Category button on the top right hand corner; a new field appears at the bottom of the category list
- Add the time-off category name (e.g. Vacation, DTO, CME, etc)
- Next check from two options:
- Show on Schedule - determines whether the time-off category should display on the Who's On view of Amion Viewer.
- Requestable - determines whether staff can request this time off category. For more on submitting time off requests, please see our support page.
- Click Save
Managing time-off categories
If a time-off category is not applicable any more, it can be managed by simply deleting the category. Select the category and click the trash can icon at the end of the row.
Note: If a category has been acted upon (e.g. scheduled on or requested by staff member) a category cannot be deleted.
