You can schedule and manage supervision appointments on your calendar. Your supervision hours will then appear on the supervision report which you can generate to keep track of the percentage of direct hours that were supervised.
IMPORTANT: Use the Limited Scheduling feature to restrict staff from creating appointments when they do not meet the Staff Requirements you have entered into the system. If Limited Scheduling is not enabled, staff will see the warning message but can still create appointments.
