  1. The ability to change your absence markings without cancelling them

    I would like to see an option to change your absence markings without cancelling them. I.e. when you try to change (shift) your vacation, you have to cancel the whole thing and start over.

    Would like to be able to create a series of an appointment/s like Outlook allows us to.

  5. Bank Holidays in the UK 26/27 aren't right

    Dear Team, I am forward planning for holiday and Christmas leave for the year 2026/2027, however I've noticed that the bank holidays are entered incorrectly for the UK. December 26th lands on a Saturday, therefore this should be moved to Monday 28th December. Plus, January 1st 2027 doesn't show as a bank holiday at all. Please can these be corrected. Thanks

  6. Planned absence

    Provide possibility to " plan " absences (display as " planned absence "). Or display absences that have not yet started as "planned" in the individual contingent overview.

  7. Additional Overview Filter

    Would be great to add an additional filter on the "Overview" for "Working Elsewhere". This would also match what is showing in Teams/Outlook. Currently it can get confusing when someone filters with "Absent Today", but they are just working remotely.

  8. Multiple entry to same period

    We will need to be able to add multiple entries (hours, half or full day) in the same period. For example a user can be in an project for the day (no deduction) but also be noted that he will be on phone support (on-call duty). This possibility would be greatly appreciated.

  9. Delegation of Approval Rights to Representatives During Absences

    This feature would allow managers to assign a representative who can take over approval responsibilities during their absence (e.g., vacation). It ensures that absence requests from team members are not delayed due to unavailable approvers. The representative should be able to approve or reject requests within the same workflow, with clear visibility and auditability. This is especially useful in larger teams or during peak holiday seasons, where uninterrupted approval processes are critical. As a potential future enhancement, an API-accessible variable for the "approval representative" could be introduced, allowing organizations to automate the delegation process and integrate it seamlessly into their internal systems.

  10. "Planning mode"

    Add a "planning mode" toggle to the leave request form so that employees can enter "draft" leaves and plan for their year. Ideally, there would then be a button to convert a draft leave into an actual request.

  11. Display Full Department Name on Overview

    The current Overview UI does not show the full department name when only 1 department is selected. Instead of hovering to the drop-down list every time, utilizing the white space to show the full department name will be a great UI/UX improvement

  12. Staff Working Hours, Headcount and FTE

    Have a function where you can add staffs weekly working hours, not just working patterns. Be able to run reports to show what a departments headcount, FTE or total hours are or a whole business.

  13. Add Parameters to Get All Users API

    Instead of calling Get all users API, suggest to have more parameters such as user status, role, department to extract a smaller and accurate user data

  14. Bank Holiday Hourly option

    In a mixed environment of holidays being Days or Hours is it possible for those on hours schedules to have bank holidays set to hours instead of days?

  15. Dark Mode not working properly with different timezones.

    I have 4 teams in different locations (India, UAE, Qatar, and KSA). When I switch to dark mode, in the Overview panel, all Sundays of the resources located in Qatar and KSA are blacked out and not visible (their working week starts on Sunday).
