Mastering Period (in Days)
This field determines the number of days in the future that recurring visits will be shown on clients' calendars.
This has to do with how AlayaCare creates visits in the schedule. For performance reasons, not all the visits until the end of a recurrence will necessarily be created immediately. For example, if a recurrence is scheduled to run for the following year, but the mastering period is set at 60 days, visits for the recurrence will only be created for the first 60 days when the recurrence is first saved.
Subsequent visits are projected periodically according to the length of the mastering period every week (early Saturday morning in most regions). For example, if a recurrence is scheduled for the following year and the mastering period is set at 60 days, visits will be created for the first 60 days when the recurrence is set. Every Saturday morning that follows, new visits will be added to the calendar up to 60 days in the future. Learn more about the mastering period.
Prepare Past Visit Limit (In Days) and Continuity Metric Past Visit Limit (In Days)
- Set this metric to some number of days x.
- Open the Employee Finder or the Facility Finder when scheduling a Visit for a Client.
- The Continuity of any Employee or Facility will calculate the percentage of the Client's Visits over the past x days with that Employee or at that Facility.
Note that this setting only limits visit creation in the past for users who do not have this permission. If you remove this permission from the role, the user will no longer be able to create past visits.
Future Scheduled Employees to Be Notified (In Days)
Set the number of days when employees with a scheduled visit in the future will be notified.
Send Late Clock-In Alert After (In Minutes)
Set the minutes after scheduled clock-in time when the employee is running late and will then receive a notification. For example, if you set this as "5", this means the employee will receive an alert to clock-in if they are 5 minutes behind the scheduled start time.
Start Late (In Minutes)
Set the minutes for which the employee can start a scheduled visit late.
Shift Percentage Coverage (Ex : 90)
Clocked time will be in red if not enough employees are available to cover the shift. Please note that this is multi-office aware.
