General Planner Settings

Modified on Thu, 22 Aug at 11:20 AM

The Staff and Group Planners display capacity and current scheduled services for Staff/Sitters and particular types of service, such as boarding, overnight and daycare services. The Planner is also helpful to identify which Staff/Sitters  are available to accept a service, indicated by having no services assigned to them or services below capacity on their planner.  


The Planners can be set up to display the following:

  • Color Coding to easily identify when a Service or Sitter has reached or is over capacity.
  • Check-in and Check-out directly from the Planner
  • Direct access to Client accounts from the Planner
  • Vaccination flags


The Group Planner can also display the following:

  • Company Level Capacity for Service Item Groups
  • Staff Level Capacity for Service Item Groups


How Do I Set Up The Planners?

Navigation: Admin > Settings > Planner Settings > General


Choose the settings you require:

  • Use Check in / Check Out Feature: Toggle ON to to enable Staff to Check in and Out of their services directly from the planner.
  • Show Vaccination Status: Toggle ON to show vaccination flags directly from the planner.

Company and Staff Planner totals can be configured in Group Planners Settings.
