When you consult the availability page, the current week will always be shown.

CrewTip! Do you see those black dots under the days of the week?
These immediately show which days in that week there are still projects for which you can indicate your preference.
If you come to a week for which there are no available shifts, you will find a button at the bottom of the page to go to the next available shifts.
Menu
Under the weekly selection you will see a menu where you have three tabs, pending, preferences and day availability. You navigate to one of these menu options by selecting one.

If you want more information about a project, select the information icon in the top right corner.
A pop-up will appear with more information about the project.
Preferences
Once you have swiped or selected shifts, you have indicated a preference. In the second tab PREFERENCES, you can consult the overview of your preferences. If you make a mistake in indicating your preferences or you change your mind, you can still change them here.
