15.2 Change the Availability Status

Select the existing availability settings that you want to change from Change Status. If you do not have any existing availability settings, the display list is empty. If no delegates have been assigned for you, a message is displayed indicating that you cannot change your status on the Availability Settings page. If you have one or more availability settings, the display list shows those settings:

Available for All Requests

This is the default status. It indicates that you are globally available. When this status is in effect, requests assigned to you are not delegated, even if you have assigned delegates.

NOTE:The Available for All Requests status overrides other settings. If you change the status to one of the other settings, and then change it back to this setting, any selectively available settings previously defined are removed.

Not Available for Any Requests

Specifies that you are globally unavailable for any request definitions currently in the system.

Choosing this status indicates that you are unavailable for all existing delegate assignments. It changes the current status to Not Available for Specific Requests. Assignments are effective immediately until the delegate assignment expires. This setting does not affect availability for new assignments created after this point.

Not Available for Specific Requests

Specifies that you are not available for certain resource request definitions. During the time period when you are unavailable for a particular request, the user delegated to act on that request can work on it.

This option takes you to the Create Availability page. It is the same action as clicking the + button.

NOTE:The end user can overwrite the availability setting specified by the Provisioning Administrator, Provisioning Manager, or the Team Manager.
