# My Availability

Let your church know when you're usually free to serve, so schedulers see it when filling
a [Rota](#/rotas) — instead of asking around or guessing.

## Weekly pattern

For each day of the week, **Add a time** to mark a recurring window you're usually
available (for example, Sunday mornings, or Wednesday evenings). Add as many time slots
per day as you need, or leave a day empty if you're never available then.

## Specific dates

Your weekly pattern won't always be right — **Add a date** to override it for one day:

- Mark a date **Available** with its own time window to add extra availability outside
  your usual pattern — you're in town for a one-off event, say.
- Mark a date **Unavailable**, with or without a time, to block it even though your weekly
  pattern would normally say you're free — a trip, an exam, a day you already know you
  can't make it.

A specific date always overrides the weekly pattern for that day.

## How this is used

When a Coordinator or Administrator fills a rota role requirement, HolyCRM checks who's published
availability that covers that slot and suggests them first — see
[Ministries & Rotas](#/ministries). If no one has published availability for a given time,
you'll see a note saying so instead of a wrong suggestion.

## If you don't see this screen

My Availability only appears if your login is linked to a member record in the
congregation — see [My Profile](#/profile) under "My church info." Ask your church's Administrator
or Coordinator if you think that's missing.
