Editing availability
The availability calculator is located on the Edit Placement Info page and reflects the current capacity, children in the home, and beds temporarily unavailable. Here’s how to use it:
- Capacity: This number represents the maximum number of children the home can take based on the data entered.
- Children in the home: Automatically pulls in the number of children currently in the home.
- Beds temporarily unavailable: This allows you to specify how many beds are temporarily unavailable for use.
- Availability: The calculator automatically subtracts the children in the home and temporarily unavailable beds from the total capacity to give the number of available spots for placement.
Simply adjust the numbers for temporarily unavailable beds, and the calculator will update availability in real-time.
