Choose preferred subs

Preferred subs hear about your request before anyone else. If none of them accept, the request opens to all of your organization’s subs automatically.

Add preferred subs to a request

1. On the request form, pick your Dates first. Preferred subs stays unavailable until you do.

2. Under Optional details, select Preferred subs.

3. Select one or more subs. You can search by name.

4. Select Done.

Next to each sub, you’ll see whether they can cover your dates:

Label	Meaning
Available	Their availability covers your dates and hours.
Partially available	They’re available for only some of your dates or hours.
Outside availability	Your dates or hours are outside the availability they’ve set.
Booked elsewhere	They’ve already accepted another job at that time. You can still choose them.

What happens after you send it

• Your preferred subs are notified first.
• If they all decline, the request opens to every sub, and you get an All Preferred Subs Declined alert.
• If none of your preferred subs can be notified for your dates, Ready to send? asks you to confirm that the request will open to all subs right away. Check Got it to continue.

Already arranged a sub?

You can’t assign a specific sub to your own request. If someone has already agreed to cover for you, ask your FillMyClass admin to create the request with that sub assigned. Then the job isn’t offered to other subs.

If the list won’t load

• “We were unable to fetch the subs for this location.” Select Try again, or send your request without preferred subs.
• “No substitutes at this location.” Your location doesn’t have any subs yet. Ask your FillMyClass admin to invite some.
