Feature Ideas

In the overview, it would be great to be able to sort (for example : sorting people by their last names instead of their first names, by the number of holidays remaining or based on their positions) and filter people (to select manually only some people of the team, the ones with a similar position for example). Thank you

It would be nice to have a button for "Today" next to the Absent today that would take you to the current date/day instead of having to arrow back when looking at future dates. A drop down for future months would be helpful and more user friendly in looking at scheduling time off or business trips instead of arrowing forward or backward.

When a user wants to cancel an absence, the approver must also accept or refuse the cancellation

It will be nice if can print the annual calendar of each user separately, perhaps as a pdf file.

There seems to be no way to set when time off allowances and how they move forward per person. our policy is to give vacation days based on when the person started employment. Perhaps I'm missing something, if so It's not clear how to accomplish this.

Currently the schedule is set for a weekly pattern. We have some people who work a 9 day fortnight, so to show this in absentify we have to at a new schedule for each week of the year, which is a pain to set up! If the schedule could have an option to set specific rules (i.e. this person is off every other Friday) or a schedule over multiple weeks that would be amazing!

Ich weiß, dass absentify ein Tool zur Abwesenheitsplanung ist, aber ich würde es grandios finden, wenn es eine Art Zeiterfassung geben könnte, die mit absentify kommuniziert. Egal welches Tool ich mir anschaue, ich müsste meine geplanten Abwesenheiten manuell in der Zeiterfassung pflegen. Ich weiß, dass es hier gewiss Möglichkeiten gibt - insbesondere mit PowerApps und PowerAutomate - aber eine vollintegrierte Lösung finde ich einfach besser. In unserem Fall würden wir auch nur die simpelste aller Zeiterfassungen benötigen: Ein- und Ausstempeln. Und natürlich ein Auswertungstool für den Mitarbeiter selbst und für die Admins, die alles einsehen können. --- Translation via ChatGPT: I know that absentify is a tool for absence planning, but I would find it fantastic if there could be some sort of time tracking that communicates with absentify. No matter which tool I look at, I would have to manually maintain my planned absences in the time tracking system. I know there are certainly possibilities here—especially with PowerApps and PowerAutomate—but I just find a fully integrated solution better. In our case, we would only need the simplest form of time tracking: clocking in and out. And of course, a reporting tool for the employees themselves and for the admins who can view everything.

It would be really nice if the calendar sync functionality had the option to also sync holiday items that have been configured in Absentify.

Gratulation to a simple and easy to handle solution for the vacation-management. Now its time to add a timetracking solution in the same way. Any chance to see something like that?

Should show the amount of years employed

Would be good if the reason for absence was shown when you hover over an absence in the calendar for Admins.

Every 5 years we have something special for our employees on their anniversary. For our company it would be better if the date only shows up 5 years (10 years, 15 years, ...) after the beginning.

Hello, Maybe best to add some adjustments to the date filter on the overview tab so we can filter custom dates as required right now it the overview displays date from today up to 2 weeks. we need to be able to filter it by current work week , starting Monday for example

Absentify currently offers only a global admin role and a basic distinction between "Manager" and "Member", which limits flexibility in large organizations. This feature would introduce a customizable role and permission system that allows organizations to define granular roles with specific access rights. For example, a sub-admin could manage approval workflows within a department but be restricted from modifying global settings like holiday calendars or absence quotas. Additionally, intermediate roles (e.g., key users) could be created to support decentralized administration, such as managing team settings or assisting with user support, without full admin privileges. All roles should be assignable and manageable via API to ensure seamless integration with HR systems and reduce manual effort. This enables scalable governance, supports key-user structures, and aligns with enterprise-level role management practices.

Uploading list of new users (hundreds) is a real pain when we need to change default settings that we can not set in the file. Please add other fields like : allowance visible Y/N, Approver's options, DoB, Language. Today I have to set them manually after the loading which is time consuming. If we want to include more employees, we will need better tools to do it. Thank you
