# Crews and availability

Scheduling · Web app · 2 min read · updated August 13, 2026

**Put one person or several on a visit or a series — every one of them holds the hour and gets it on their own calendar — and book against a free/busy week drawn from their schedules and their connected calendars.**

## Who is going

A visit or a series can carry one cleaner or a whole crew. Every person on it
**holds that hour**: the visit blocks their availability and appears on their
own calendar feed. The first person listed is the lead, so the order is not
decorative.

Reassigning one visit touches only that visit; changing the crew on a series
flows to every future one. Move a visit or hand it to somebody else and the
connected calendars follow — **including taking it off the calendar of whoever
is no longer going**, which is the half that usually gets forgotten.

## Seeing who is free

The booking form draws the week as a free/busy calendar before you commit to
anything. Pick the crew and you see their calendars; pick nobody and you see the
whole company's. Click an open slot and it becomes the visit's date and time.

Two things feed that picture:

1. **Work already booked** in BlastoClean.
2. **Connected personal calendars**, if the person has connected one.

## Busy, without saying why

A dentist appointment is a dentist appointment. Someone can connect a personal
calendar so that it blocks bookings **without showing anyone what is on it** —
the office sees "busy 2–3pm" and never the title. That is the default, and it is
set per calendar, so a work calendar can be readable while a personal one is
not. See [Calendars and feeds](/docs/calendars-and-feeds).

## Nothing gets booked twice

A clash is refused before it is written, and the refusal names the visit in the
way. Back-to-back visits are allowed — the check is for genuine overlap.

## Knowing whether you have enough people

Two reports answer the questions this raises, both covered in
[The dashboard and reports](/docs/the-dashboard-and-reports):

- **Capacity**, one to twelve weeks out: booked minutes against available
  minutes, per person — so you find out you are overbooked before a customer
  does.
- **Crew performance**: completed visits, hours, revenue and no-shows per team
  member.

And everyone, whatever their role, can open **My week** — their own visits and
pay for the week, with no manager's permission required.
