Is anyone using Availability Patterns?

Summary

Using Availability Patterns to store shifts and schedules

Content

We are currently working on configuring Availability Patterns to store our colleagues contractual shift patterns and also to allow us to store and use weekly adjusted shift patterns (scheduling) for more accurate pay and accurate booking of absences.

I was wondering if anyone else was in the same position, further ahead (actually using it) or were thinking about using it?

We have come across a number of use cases where we are encountering some issues and was wondering if anyone had ideas or thoughts on how they might have or would overcome them?
