  • No Preference - Prospr will not give preference to Home Location or Alternates when assigning

Availability:

  • Strictly - Prospr will not assign a team member outside the availability listed in their user profile
  • Loosely (+/- 2 Hours) - Prospr will assign a team member if a shift begins or ends closely with their availability. For example, a team member could be assigned for a 9-5 shift if their profile availability was 10-6.
  • Ignore - Prospr will ignore team member's availability entirely while assigning.
  • Yes, Allow Doubles - Check this box if you will allow Prospr to assign team member's for multiple shifts on the same day
