| These preferences allow you to modify the behavior of the Search Availability widget on the dashboard. There are 5 sets of settings, as you can have up to 5 Search Availability widgets at once. For example, if you had an AdvisorTrac and a TutorTrac profile in the same instance, you may want reason to be a required search criteria for Advising, but only require Subject for Tutoring. These options allow you to offer a separate widget for each profile.
| | <b>2022-08-09 | Availabilities that aren't booked can now become drop-ins automatically<br><br></b> |
|
| |
|
| [[File:5627594.png|800px|Screenshot: Search Availability Options.]]<br><br>
| | A new System Preference has been added (<i>Other > Other Options > Preferences > System Preferences > Unbooked availabilities become dropins to students on search availability</i>). If this is enabled, any in-person availabilities that remain unbooked by the time your "schedule no sooner than" limit is reached will automatically become drop-ins for students.<br><br> |
|
| |
|
| * <b>Activate primary/secondary/tertiary search availability option</b>
| | As an example, this test system doesn't allow students to book appointments within an hour of the session starting. At more than an hour out, it appears normally.<br> |
| ::This allows you to enable additional search widgets when needed. The primary option is enabled by default.<br><br> | | [[File:7572334.png|800px]]<br> |
| | [[File:1045533.png|800px]]<br><br> |
|
| |
|
| * <b>Search Availability Title</b>
| | However, once we pass our 1-hour example threshold, the availability on the staff schedule looks normal, but students will now see this time as an available in-person drop-in session.<br> |
| ::This allows you to modify the name of the Search Availability widget on the dashboard. Also displays within the header of the subsequent search results page.<br><br>
| | [[File:2842751.png|800px]]<br> |
| | | [[File:8328131.png|800px]]<br><br> |
| * <b>Default Search Option</b>
| |
| ::This determines whether the Schedule an Appointment dashboard utility defaults to “First Available” or “Choose Date.” The latter will prompt staff and students to select a Profile, Center, and Date Range for their search results.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| * <b>Show Profile Option to Student</b>
| |
| ::When “Choose Date” Is used when searching for availabilities, the user is asked which Profile and Center they want to search in. This option provides the ability to disable the Profile choice for students.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| * <b>Allow Search Subject/Reasons</b>

| ::Allows you to modify the phrasing of these drop-down fields in the Search Availability box on the dashboard. <b>Search Conjunction</b> determines whether the two fields are separated by an <i>And</i> or an <i>Or</i>.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| * <b>Do Not Require Reason on Search</b>
| |
| ::This determines if Reason is a required field to search for availabilities. If so, all profiles within your Trac Instance will also need to require reason to find availabilities. See [[TracCloudGuideProfilePrefsSchedule|Scheduling Preferences]] for more information.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| * <b>Search Availability Instructions</b>
| |
| ::A custom message that displays during the Search Availability process for staff/students.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| * <b>Hide Dropins from Students</b>
| |
| ::If enabled, Drop-in-type availabilities will not appear in availability search results for students.<br><br>

| |
| | |

| | |
| [[File:6715579.png|800px|Screenshot: Additional settings.]]<br><br>
| |
| | |
| * <b>Master List for Search Availabilities Subject</b>
| |
| ::Allows you to restrict Search Availability to a specific list of sections, overriding the Center and Consultant course lists.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| * <b>Name for...</b>
| |
| ::These options allow you to change the phrasing of availabilities types in your Trac System. For example, if your students find 'Multi-person' more clear than 'Group', it can be changed here. Default phrasing will be used if these are left blank.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| * <b>Format to display Search Subject</b>
| |
| ::Allows you to modify the format of subjects within the Search Availability widget. E.g., including or excluding Title, Section, Faculty, etc.<br><br>

| | |
| * <b>Allow Course Lists to be assigned to availabilities</b>
| |
| ::Allows you to choose a course list as an availability subject as a form of section group.<br><br>
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| [[File:2795031.png|600px]]<br><br> | |
| | |
| * <b>Unbooked availabilities become dropins to students on search availability</b>
| |
| ::If checked, in the event that an in-person availability block is not booked within the allowed limit of your profile scheduling restrictions, the availability block will continue to be shown to students as an in-person drop-in to allow the time slot to still be utilized.<br><br>
| |
| | |
