Subcontractor availability consists of a coherent time period that specifies that the user is available as well as the availability in %. Availability is set manually, either by a Partner Manager or by the subcontractor.

1. Go to the subcontractor list and click on a subcontractor

2. From the Overview tab, scroll down to the section "Availability".

3. To add a new time period click the "+" sign. You can also edit existing periods by clicking on them in the timeline.

Below is a screenshot of how you add and edit availability:

1. Use the date picker (Period) and select your start date by clicking on the date.

2. Scroll between months by using the left/right arrows. Click on the year and use the up/down arrow to scroll between years.

3. Enter availability in percent.

4. Comments regarding the time period are optional.

There is no filter in the subcontractor list for "has set availability". To get an overview of availability across your network, use one of the views below.

Go to Planner > Timeline and select the Subcontractor view. This gives you a graphical overview of bookings and availability periods for all your subcontractors.

When you open a role and go to the Matching tab, Cinode shows which subcontractors are available during the role period. This is the most precise way to find available subcontractors for a specific assignment.

A subcontractor's availability for a role is calculated using the indicated availability reduced by the extent of the roles they are currently booked for during the duration of the role.

If the Subcontractor view in Planner > Timeline shows no results, check the following before assuming availability hasn't been entered.

The Period filter requires both a start date and an end date. If either is missing, no results will be displayed. Make sure you have specified a concrete date range, such as a specific week or month.

Make sure you are in Planner > Timeline and that the view is set to Subcontractor. Other views — such as Planner > Available — show employees, not subcontractors, and will not display subcontractor availability data.

Double-check that any active filters are scoped to subcontractors. Filters applied to employees or other groups will not return subcontractor availability.
