Handling a Coverage Request

If someone has requested you to provide coverage, a Request Coverage alert is added to your list of conversations.

If the coverage request starts less than 24 hours from now, the request for a response to the Request Coverage alert appears on your screen immediately, as the alert is of Urgent priority:

For coverage requests that start later than 24 hours from now, the alert is of High priority, and this request for a response appears when you tap the alert in your list of conversations. The alert indicates the date and time for which coverage is requested.

Request Coverage alerts behave like any other alert that you receive. See Receiving an Alert for information on receiving alerts.

If you accept the coverage request, your acceptance is displayed as a log entry in the Info tab of the coverage request:

When the coverage starts, another log entry is displayed:

The coverage request remains accessible from the Home screen, in case you need to recall for whom you are covering and for how long.
