See time off

Time off is surfaced automatically in the Workload Planner, Resource Scheduler, Planning Overview, and User-based reports.

Time off factors into the availability calculation for any team members assigned to the group, helping you plan work around real public holidays. You can spot Time off by an umbrella icon (⛱️) along the top timeline, beside the day the public holiday falls on.

💡 To note 💡Hover over the umbrella icon to see the specific holiday and the relevant team impacted.

Below the respective date you will see a grey and white striped cell, indicating which users are off that day due to a public holiday.

💡 To note 💡The umbrella and striped cell also appear on the transfer of work window when shifting an allocation from a placeholder to a named resource. No more transferring work to someone who's actually unavailable—how handy!
