Display Fieldworker Working Hours to Customers
Why Show Working Hours on a Fieldworker Profile?
Publishing a fieldworker’s regular roster lets customers pick a preferred pro at a time that suits both parties, boosting first-time-fix rates and customer satisfaction.
Benefits in a nutshell
-
Faster conversions: Customers choose a slot instantly instead of calling to check availability, reducing booking friction.
-
Fewer double bookings: Slots outside the fieldworker’s roster never appear, avoiding the re-scheduling headaches common in non-real-time systems.
-
Fieldworker loyalty: Regular clients can stick with a favourite pro, mirroring the “preferred barber/therapist” model that drives repeat spend.
Activating the Flag (Admin Workflow)
-
Path: Settings ▸ Customer Portal ▸ Flags & Permissions
-
Enable Display Fieldworker Working Hours in Profile under the “Fieldworker Flags” section.
-
Make sure the relevant fieldworker profiles are set to Public; hidden profiles can’t show hours.
Once enabled, customers see a Working Hours button inside each public fieldworker profile; clicking expands the weekly timetable.
Example: A residential cleaning company allows clients to pick Maria (Mon-Wed 08:00-14:00) or Tom (Thu-Sat 10:00-18:00). Maria’s off-hours never show, preventing Friday requests she can’t fulfil.
Updating Hours (Fieldworker & Admin)
Role | Tool | Steps |
---|---|---|
Admin (Web) | Fieldworkers ▸ [Name] ▸ Job Settings ▸ Working Hours | Add or edit shifts; split days (e.g. 08 00-12 00 & 13 00-17 00). |
Fieldworker (App) | Profile ▸ Services ▸ Working Hours
|
Tap + Add to create or adjust blocks; save to sync instantly.
|
Fieldworker (Web) | Log in to web portal, open My Working Hours. | Same controls as admin, respecting company-hour fence. |
Use case: A mobile physiotherapist blocks 20-24 June for vacation; the slot disappears from the portal, and dispatch can’t assign jobs there unless they override manually.

What If You Disable the Flag?
-
The Working Hours button is hidden from customer view.
-
Admins and fieldworkers still see and edit schedules internally, and the real-time allocation engine continues to respect them.
-
Ideal when you want customers choosing any fieldworker first, then let the system auto-assign the best match behind the scenes—similar to how ServiceTitan’s “Adjustable Capacity” mode conceals individual rosters.
Best-Practice Tips
-
Keep hours current: Teach fieldworkers to update sickness blocks in-app—no more surprise no-shows.
-
Pair with skill tags: Showing a roster means nothing if the fieldworker lacks the skill for that job; enable skill filters in the portal.
-
Use split shifts for lunch breaks: Prevents customers booking during planned downtime.
-
After-hours premium: Hide working hours but offer an “Emergency After Hours” service with its own pricing if you don’t want to expose evening availability.
