The team absence calendar
Who is away and when? The "Team Calendar" tab on the Absences page shows all of the team's absences — filterable by type, person and qualification.
The path runs through the main navigation: Absences → "Team Calendar" tab. Supervisors find four tabs there — "Pending Requests", "Team Calendar", "All Absences" and "My Absences". Approving and recording have their own articles; here we cover the team calendar.
The calendar
In month or week view it shows all of the team's absences side by side — vacation, sick leave, special leave, unpaid leave and vocational school, distinguishable by color. Public holidays from the work calendar are shown, so that bridge days and vacation windows are recognizable at a glance.
Three filters turn the calendar into a planning tool:
- Type — show only vacation, to check vacation planning
- Employee — isolate a single person
- Qualification — the question of workshop planning: Are all finishers away at the same time in week 34?
Who it's for
The Absences menu item is open to every role. The supervisor view with "Pending Requests", "Team Calendar" and "All Absences" is by default for Admin, Planner and Team Lead — they approve requests there and record or withdraw other people's absences. Employees see only "My Absences" on the same page, plus a calendar with their own entries in which the absence type is hidden. Your own request goes through the request area; the team calendar is the management view.
