## Filter Get Adaptive Availability

After you click **Get Adaptive Availability**, you can use the filters and tabs to find a time slot for the job you're booking. This helps you narrow the visible time slots to the specific criteria you're looking for.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The *Access Get Adaptive Availability Filters* permission is required to use this feature. Please contact the account administrator on your team.

### Filters

You can filter availability by **Weekday, Technician**, **Skill**, and **Zone**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/use-get-adaptive-availability-to-book-and-reschedule-jobs-with-adaptive-capacity-image-2uod9n5q.png)

The *Weekday* filter allows you to select a specific day or days to find availability for.

The options in the *Technician* filter are based on the *Skill* and *Zone* filters. If you select a technician that's not in the *Matched* section of the *Technician* filter, you might not see any time slot results. This is because that technician won't have the required skills or be in the correct zone.

If you widen your selections in the *Skill* or *Zone* filter, less availability options will show up because the requirements became more restrictive.

### Tabs

Use the tabs to find available time slots for the job.

Click the **First Available** tab to find the first four available time slots within 30 days. The very first available time slot is highlighted with a **Star** icon.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/use-get-adaptive-availability-to-book-and-reschedule-jobs-with-adaptive-capacity-image-ubn3a6jo.png)

Click the **All Available** tab to find available time slots over the next month and beyond.

In the *All Available* view:

- Dates with available time slots are shown with a dot below the date on the calendar.
- Dates with no availability have no dots on the calendar.
- Unavailable time slots have an *Unavailable* tag on the right.
- If a time slot is *Unavailable,* you can select it and click **Availability Details** to find out why.
