How do I set up availability Regions in Schedula?

Schedula provides Associations the ability to define Regions that officials can make themselves available to, which is a defined by a collection of venues within your organisation. The aim of Availability Regions is to enable administrators to better manage the availability of officials within their Organisation whose venues are spread across a large geographical area. 

By grouping your organisation's venues into Regions, you are allowing your Officials to only be appointed to venues that are either close to them or close to various modes of transport in their area.

To get started with Availability Regions, you need to:

a) Define a Region; and

b) Assign venues to the Region

Configuring your Availability Regions in Schedula only needs to be done once. Unless your venues change between seasons, Availability Regions will carry forward into the next season, so you don’t have to keep redefining Regions

1. In the left-hand menu, click Schedula Settings > MANAGE REGIONS

Assigning Venues to a Region

2. To assign a venue to the Region, click the ADD TO REGION button next to the venue you wish to add. The venue from the All Venues list will then be moved into the right-hand column
