**Revenue** - When setting your Availability to work off of revenue, you have 1 Option - hard-set revenue goals for each individual day - As seen below, inputting hard-capped revenue goals will set a Specific Revenue Goal for a day, and once that Revenue has been met, the availability will become grey or not available once that goal is met ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-setup-adjust-and-manage-your-online-and-internal-availability-calendar-image-n7530d4z.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T00%3A04%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T01%3A04%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=wJa3IFxlawQcAnp2066JAf6n5hJ329m9QAT1GFUGpCk%3D)![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-setup-adjust-and-manage-your-online-and-internal-availability-calendar-image-jcozhc6l.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T00%3A04%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T01%3A04%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=wJa3IFxlawQcAnp2066JAf6n5hJ329m9QAT1GFUGpCk%3D) **Hourly** - Hourly works much like a Revenue, in the sense that it is a Hard Set number, and you will remain available if that number is not met - You will still be available on each day when hard-setting hours, ***even if you don't have enough technicians for the day*** - setting the hours puts an "Override" on each day that will leave you available until the pre-set "technician hours" are met ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-setup-adjust-and-manage-your-online-and-internal-availability-calendar-image-qm63xf8j.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T00%3A04%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T01%3A04%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=wJa3IFxlawQcAnp2066JAf6n5hJ329m9QAT1GFUGpCk%3D)![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-setup-adjust-and-manage-your-online-and-internal-availability-calendar-image-5w0xb2uh.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T00%3A04%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T01%3A04%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=wJa3IFxlawQcAnp2066JAf6n5hJ329m9QAT1GFUGpCk%3D) **Intuitive - Based on Scheduled Employees** - By setting the Availability to " Hourly" and leaving the hours blank (as seen below), the system will give you a more "Intuitive" approach to availability - When Blank, the system will pull availability based on ***(Scheduled Technician Time) x (Average Efficiency Factor of ALL scopes attached to Scope Group)*** - ***Only employees whose skills are selected in their Employee Profile > Tags and Skills and match the skills selected in the Scope Group > General Settings will count.*** - After getting the Efficient Hours for each technician, the system will add up all scheduled employees’ Efficient hours, and you will have availability based on Scheduled Employees ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-setup-adjust-and-manage-your-online-and-internal-availability-calendar-image-xlda4w3r.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T00%3A04%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T01%3A04%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=wJa3IFxlawQcAnp2066JAf6n5hJ329m9QAT1GFUGpCk%3D)![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-setup-adjust-and-manage-your-online-and-internal-availability-calendar-image-itf9kvhz.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T00%3A04%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T01%3A04%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=wJa3IFxlawQcAnp2066JAf6n5hJ329m9QAT1GFUGpCk%3D) EX: on 1/17 - Joseph is scheduled for 9 hours - The average Efficiency factor of all my Scopes of work for "Residential Cleaning - Scope Group" is .7 - the system automatically does 9 x .7 = 6.3 or 6 hours and 19 min of "Effective Cleaning Time Per day" ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0c1ef627-c6ff-4a23-afbe-729f8c45b2d2/Images/Documentation/how-to-setup-adjust-and-manage-your-online-and-internal-availability-calendar-image-s9qzcouc.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T00%3A04%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T01%3A04%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=wJa3IFxlawQcAnp2066JAf6n5hJ329m9QAT1GFUGpCk%3D) **Not Scheduled Jobs** - You have the option to exclude jobs in the Not Scheduled Team from counting towards availability by enabling the Availability: Don't Count Not Scheduled Jobs feature.
