Once logged in, select the **work order** you need to update your availability. image.png On the **Work Order Details** page, click **Provide Work Order Update**. image.png Then select **Update Availability**. image.png The current slot availability will now be displayed. If you wish to change the current schedule, simply click the **Update** button. image.png From here **choose a new schedule** or **customize the time slot** that is convenient for you. image.png Finally, click **Submit Availability**. image.png The availability you set helps the service provider schedule an arrival time, **but it doesn’t mean the repair will only occur during that exact timeframe.** For example, if you list 10:00 AM–2:00 PM as your available time, the service provider may arrive at any point within that window and could continue working past 2:00 PM if the job requires more time. And that's it! You've successfully updated your availability in your maintenance request.
