Preferred Subs
When requesting a substitute for a class, you have the option to choose Preferred Subs.
Preferred Subs receive notification of your sub request 24 hours before it is sent to the rest of the instructors approved to sub that class.*
When should I use Preferred Subs?
You may want to use Preferred Subs when:
- You or studio management would prefer specific instructors to cover the class.
- You have already arranged for another instructor to sub for you.
- You want certain instructors to have the first opportunity to accept the request for any other reason.
How to select Preferred Subs
- Tap Add under Preferred Subs.
- Select the instructors you want to designate as preferred. A checkmark will appear next to each selected instructor.
- Tap Done.
Only instructors who are approved by studio management to sub the class and are not already teaching another class at that time will appear in the selection list.
After tapping Done, you’ll return to the sub request screen. Your selected instructors will be listed under Preferred Subs.
When you’re ready, submit your sub request.
Your Preferred Subs will have the first opportunity to accept the request.
- If one of your Preferred Subs accepts, the request is complete.
- If none of your Preferred Subs accept within the priority window, the request is automatically sent to all other instructors who are approved to sub that class.
Once the priority window has ended and the request has been opened to all approved instructors, the Preferred Subs section on the sub request details screen will change to Available Subs.
* Timing: Preferred Subs receive exclusive access to the request for 24 hours. If the class begins within 36 hours of when the request is submitted, the priority window is shortened to 4 hours before the request is automatically sent to the remaining approved instructors.
