Your daily work flow may require you to give staff a finite amount of time to set their availability to ensure the new schedules you're creating have up to date staff availability.
Typically, you would notify staff that they needed to fill in their availability and give them a certain number of days or weeks to complete it. Once the time frame had expired you would lock down availability submissions.
