  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.

  3. Print out period- all absents

    Really need a function where you can print out (pdf?) all absences for a period, eg week or month.

  4. Weeks and Months in the "My Calendar View" and the "Overview"

    It would be nice if you could select and display by weeks and months in the "My Calendar View" and the "Overview".

  5. Show overlaps when a user requests leave

    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.

  6. Customizable text in OOO signatures

    Hi all, Our formatting for the mail signatures is different from the mail body formatting. It is smaller and has a different color. It would be really nice and would look more professional if the formatting of the out-of-office text could be edited. So the text would be standard formatting and our signature would be a different formatting. Directly in Outlook, this is possible. Unfortunately, today this is not possible with the absentify out-of-office integration. Thanks and best regards, Reto

  8. Customizable Admin Role and Permission System for Scalable Administration

    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.

  9. Show comments when hovering over icon

    We have a lot of personnel who travel and it would be helpful to see where they are or are going to be when we hover over the "travelling for work" icon instead of having to open it up to view the comment.

  10. Cancellation of individual days

    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.

  11. Recurring events/appointments as a series

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

  12. Overtime and recovery hours

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

  13. Canceling an absence must also be approved

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

  14. Blockoutdates

    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.

  15. 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.
