Feature Inquiry: Location Details - Availability Checkbox

#1

Post by spencer_manzon »

Greetings,

I wanted to ask about a feature of the Church Calendar application. For a Location, in the Location Details, there is a checkbox for a location's Availability. In the Help page, it states that "Availability. Check the box for “This Location Can Be Scheduled.”" but wanted more detail. If this checkbox is unchecked, will the Building Scheduler be able to still add Building Events for the location? The use case I'm thinking is for leaders to create the event but the booking of the building should go through the Building Scheduler.

Thank you

From Help Center: Building Schedulers
Building schedulers are responsible for overseeing events related to their assigned location, but they do not schedule stake or ward events. The stake and ward calendar editors schedule their own events and reserve the needed building and rooms without contacting the building scheduler.
The idea of everything going though a Building Scheduler comes from the paper era. Back then, there could only be one sheet of paper that was fully up to date with the schedule. Any copies were simply a "point in time" copy and would be inaccurate the first time a change was made.
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

So we can better help you, please edit your Profile to include your general location.

Hello! I appreciate the reply. Thank you

We tested it and it indeed removes the location to be scheduled for everyone.
