Revision History

Let's understand 'Availability request' through an example:

You want to plan a weekend road-trip with a group of friends. But before you chalk-out the itinerary, you would want to know for sure, which of all of your buddies are interested in this trip. So, you make send them a message, informing them about your plan and inviting their interest. And then they, individually, based on the own plans for the aforesaid weekend, either would accept or decline the invite.

The communication you send to them, is what we call in R2Labor as Availability Request.

In our Labor application, you can send the Availability request to the Resource for a specific dates or jobs.
