Use case: Match availability of qualified team members to scheduled jobs

Matching availability is a big part of scheduling for many organizations. For example, a workforce training organization may need match the availability of trainers with the requested sessions from their clients. That's simple to do if you have all the scheduling on one calendar, so you can easily compare and match availability. 

But what if matching availability is a little more complex? For example, imagine your company needs to handle the same scenario: matching available trainers with scheduled sessions. But there are qualifications or specializations to consider as you do this matching. For example, some trainers might specialize in certain skills or types of training. And some training sessions can only be taught by a trainer with the required certifications. So, in this case, you need to match specialized availability which requires two steps:

1. Out of a large group of trainers, you'd need to quickly identify which ones are qualified.
2. Then you can compare and match availability, from that smaller pool of qualified trainers. 

How to match specialized availability with Teamup

To handle this scenario, a training organization could use a custom choice field to tag the qualifications needed for each training session.

Trainer calendars could be organized in folders by their specialties. 

Then, when assigning training sessions, the scheduler can filter by the requirements for any session and view only the qualified trainers to match availability and assign sessions.  

 This concept could work in other scenarios, too, when you need to match a qualified person with a scheduled job or needed task. Use custom fields to "tag" each job or task with the requirements. Then view only the individuals who have the needed qualifications.
