RelayLocal manages 5 data types including enquiry notes. Helps you organize, track, and share your work in 1 place for teams and solo users.

Does Open mean a business must accept work?

No. Open is an operating signal, and the business can still assess each opportunity.

Is an Availability Window a booking calendar?

No. It records a time-bounded preference rather than reservable public slots.

Capacity

Show when your business can take more.

Capacity records give RelayLocal an operational signal about whether a business is open, limited or unavailable for suitable work.

A private operating signal

Capacity is not a public availability directory. It is used within authorised RelayLocal relationships to communicate a practical business state.

Open

The business is currently open to suitable work within its recorded preferences.

Limited

The business may consider suitable work but has constrained availability.

Paused

The business should not receive ordinary Relay routing while paused.

Real workflow

How capacity can support a decision

01
Record a state
Choose Open, Limited or Paused.
02
Add practical context
Record supported services, areas, minimum job size, dates or limits where applicable.
03
Use with other controls
Relay, Growth and network workflows can consider capacity alongside relationship, service, area and policy rules.
04
Keep assignment separate
Capacity supports a decision; it does not by itself create an offer or assignment.

What capacity can influence

Relay decisions
Opportunity suitability
Private network coordination
Growth workflows
Workload awareness

Availability Windows

Availability Windows provide a temporary, time-bounded signal. Example: “We have capacity next Tuesday and Wednesday for electrical callouts in selected postcodes.” This describes a preference and operating window, not a guaranteed booking slot.

Clear boundaries

Capacity is a signal, not a promise

Not a public directory
Not a guaranteed booking slot
Not an assignment by itself
Not proof of suitability
Not a replacement for service and area checks
Not a commitment to accept every offer
