Set your availability
Set your work preference and mark your availability for days, weeks, or months. This keeps your manager informed about your preferences in advance, helping to schedule appointments based on availability.
Before you start
You'll be able to add your availability preferences when you have permission to set your own availability.
To set availability
- Open the Zoho Shifts mobile app.
- Tap More at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap My Availability.
- Tap on the date for which you want to add availability.
- To set your preferred working hours, select Preferred. If you're unavailable, choose Unavailable.
- To set a specific time range, turn off the All Day option. You can then enter your start and end times.
- To repeat this availability, tap Repeat. Otherwise, you can skip and move to the next step.
- In the Repeat tab, select repeat frequency (Days or Weeks) as needed.
- Choose the weekdays for which you want to repeat your availability, if you’ve selected weeks.
- To select when this availability should end, tap 'On' and choose a date to end the repeat action, or tap 'After' and set the number of occurrences your availability has to repeat.
- Tap Done.
- Add Notes if you want to provide context for your availability (optional).
- Tap Save.
- Navigate to the Schedule tab > My Schedule.

- Choose the weekdays for which you want to repeat the availability, if you’ve selected weeks.
- Choose when this availability should end by selecting On (for a specific date) or After (for after a number of occurrences).
- Click Save Availability.
Setting your availability does not guarantee that shifts will be assigned to you or that they will remain unscheduled. Your employer would review your preferences and schedule based on the business conditions and requirements. To mark a mandatory absence, you can raise a time-off request.
