Who's Out
The Who's Out widget shows which employees will be out of the office during the next seven days, the rest of the month, and the following month. Additional data, up to three months from the current date, will be loaded by clicking Load more Who's Out. The following features are available in the Who's Out widget:
- Employee Filter: You can filter who will show on your Who's Out widget by My Circle (your peers, manager, and direct reports) and any standard filters.
- Reason Filter: You can filter which events will show on your Who's Out widget by Time Off or Assigned Holidays.
- Employee: The profile picture and name of the employee who will be out will appear on the applicable date. It will also display how many people from your circle are out of the office on that date. If you have applied a filter to only show your circle, you will not see the My Circle text.
- Time Off Category and Holiday Icons: Icons on the right side show the type of time off an employee is taking. If a user does not have access to view the time off category in use, they will see a basic calendar icon.
- Calendar: Employees can click Full Calendar to see the Who's Out information in a calendar view. Additionally, a link to the iCal feed is available in the full calendar.
- A request will only show the amount of time if the request's start date and end date are the same. Additionally, the request must be for a lesser time than the default daily amount. For example, if your default daily amount is eight hours, then the request must be less than eight hours for the requested amount to show.
- You can customize your default daily hours under the action menu in Time Off in Settings.
Who's Out calendar
In the bottom left corner of the Who's Out widget, employees will find Full Calendar. When you click on this link, the time off information will display in a calendar format which includes:
- Different viewing options: By default, you will see all approved time off for the current month. You can choose to see the time off information in two-week or one-week increments by clicking the corresponding buttons.
- Time frame: You can easily view past, current, and future approved time off requests by changing the calendar's time frame. If you have moved the calendar forward or backward in time, clicking Today will return you to the current date.
- Filter: The Who's Out widget displays time off information for everybody in your company. By viewing the full calendar, employees can filter the results by clicking All Employees. Employees can quickly filter the calendar by their Department, Location, Division, or My Circle (includes peers, managers, and direct reports). Additionally, you can create a custom filter to filter information by the standard filters. If an employee chooses to filter the calendar, the same filters will apply to the widget and iCalendar feed.
- Action menu: You can determine what you would like to show on your calendar: Holidays, Birthdays,* Anniversaries,* or Weekends. Additionally, the iCal link allows you to set up a feed that links to an outside calendar like the link within the widget.
- Employee name: An employee's name will show up on the date(s) they will be out of the office. When multiple employees are out of the office at the same time, they will be listed individually on the calendar. The color associated with an employee's name will resemble the time off category they are taking and is reflected in the legend at the bottom of the calendar.
- Holidays: Holidays assigned to you, or holidays that have been assigned to others but have been shared with you, will show on the calendar. Clicking on the holiday name will provide information about who has been assigned to that holiday. Clicking Details will pull up a full list of employees assigned to that holiday.
- Approve request: If you are an approver for a time off request, it will show in gray on the calendar. You can then hover your cursor over it and take action directly from the calendar view. Only future time off requests are approvable in the calendar.
-
Legend: The legend always shows at the bottom of the calendar, but access to see other employees' time off request types is enabled according to time off category settings. When creating a time off category, determine if you would like to show the time off category in the calendar. If you select to show it in the calendar, you can share it with everyone or only users within specific access levels.
- Please note that if an employee approves a request through the workflow, they will still not see it in the calendar unless they have access granted to view the time off category and the employee in Access Levels settings, or you have shared the time off category in the calendar through Time Off settings.
*Birthdays and anniversaries will only show in the calendar if an employee has access granted through access level settings.
