Skip to main contentProceeding Types, Travel Distance & Daily Capacity
As an admin, you can configure work preferences for teammates to ensure scheduling and assignments align with their availability and capacity. These settings cover whether a teammate can handle remote or in-person proceedings, how far they are willing to travel, and how many hours per day they are available.
- Support Remote Proceedings – Toggle whether the teammate is available for remote work (e.g., video/teleconference-based proceedings).
- Support In-Person Proceedings – Indicate if the teammate accepts in-person jobs.
- Travel Distance / Radius – If in-person is enabled, set the maximum distance the teammate is willing to travel (in miles or kilometers) from their base address.
- Daily Capacity – Define how many hours per day the teammate is available to work. This is especially important for part-time teammates, as it helps calculate workload capacity and prevents over-scheduling.
How to Update Preferences
- Log into the Admin Dashboard.
- Go to Workers.
- Select the user whose preferences you want to configure.
- Open the Preferences tab.
- Toggle Remote Proceedings ON/OFF.
- Toggle In-Person Proceedings ON/OFF.
- If in-person is enabled, enter a Travel Radius (e.g., 25 miles / 40 km).
- Enter the user’s Daily Capacity (e.g., 6 hours per day).
- Save your updates.
Why These Preferences Matter
- Ensures assignments align with each teammate’s real-world availability.
- Helps avoid offering jobs that are too far away or impractical.
- Balances workload so teammates don’t get overbooked.
- Improves scheduling efficiency across the team.
- Provides transparency to clients and managers about coverage and limits.
