Feature Ideas

If a user requests leave, his superior receives a message to accept or reject the leave. Currently, they have to check the calendar view to see whether someone else in their team is already on holiday during this period. Solution: It would be better to write directly in the approval popup that there are overlaps with other users of the team in this period.

Could you add the possibility to mark people we are working with a lot so we would see them immediately when connecting to absentify? This would be a kind of Favorites. This could be displayed as a Department "Favorite" or at the top of the list...

It should be possible to cancel individual days of vacation (instead of just the whole vacation). This should also be possible for managers and admins for past holidays. One implementation idea would be to be able to choose between the entire vacation and individual days when canceling vacation, and then select these specifically.

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.

We also use absentify to plan home office days and attendance days in the office. Here it would be helpful if it were possible to define attendances in addition to absence types (home office is not an absence) or to filter according to individual types.

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.

Currently, there are internal regulations whereby requests are automatically considered approved after a certain period of time if the supervisor has not responded. Alternatively, requests can also be automatically rejected by the system after a certain period of time. Could we please have this option?

Allow overtime to be added in a separate counter and then the emplyees can subtract the recup hours from this.

Due to events in the year, it would be useful to define dates when vacations cannot be taken. It would be useful if it can be defined which type of absences cannot be taken during the blocking dates.

It would be great to have an app so that employees could easily request of through app.

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

We are a company with many employees with school kids. When we plan our holiday with absentify it would be usefull to see, when the school holidays in our country/state are starting and ending. It should work similar to the public holidays. maybe the days in the bar of the week days should be marked with school holiday when you choose for example germany / lower saxony in the settings. thanks

With many people it would be easier to get an overview when I can push a button "full view" or similar. There is too much space above and between the persons. So it would be great, if I could choose between an normal and condensated view.

A single calendar view like 'My Calendar' but it shows absences from a custom set of employees so you can see at a glance who is off when and dont have to go into each individual calendar
