Help/Schedule

Set your work preferences

Updated September 30, 2026

You can tell the schedule when you'd like to work, when you'd rather not, and when you can't. This tab only appears if your clinic has turned on work preferences.

Add your preferences

  1. Open Schedule and go to the Preferences tab.
  2. Tap Add a preference.
  3. Pick the day of the week and the hours.
  4. Choose how you feel about those hours (see the list below).
  5. Add a note if it helps.
  6. Repeat for any other days, then tap Save preferences.

The three choices:

  • Prefer to work: auto-fill puts you forward for these first.
  • Rather not: you're only used if nobody else fits.
  • Can’t work: you're never drafted for these hours.

To remove one, tap the trash icon on its row and save again. With nothing set, every hour is treated the same.

How they're used

Preferences guide the draft when an admin uses auto-fill for a week. They repeat every week until you change them.

Note

Preferences never stop an admin from scheduling you by hand. If something is firm, like a class or a second job, talk to your admin too.

For clinic admins

Clinic admins see a person picker at the top of the Preferences tab. Choose a team member to view or change their preferences on their behalf. Staff can only see and change their own.
