Calendar availability designates the type of activity or an absence of technicians on the calendar; see Using the calendar.

When scheduling resources, the availabilities make it possible to know which technician to assign to which task according to the visible unavailabilities.
They can also ensure the consistency of the entered occupations: if the technician had an availability range of 7 hours, they must not be allowed to enter 8 hours of occupation.

The calendar availability can correspond to:

• an availability of the technician for work orders, such as WORK,
• a time reserved for an activity other than work orders, such as TRAINING,
• an absence, such as LEAVE, SICK LEAVE, RECOVERY TIME, etc.

The last two cases are non availability ranges; see examples in Calendar availability [Results].
