Feature Ideas

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

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

This field is not included in the export feature, which we will be using for monthly reporting Also is it possible to track what changes are made to this field?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

This feature would allow administrators to set more granular rules for unused allowance days at the end of a fiscal year. Currently, the system allows users to define a deadline by which all carried-over days must be used, with only a certain number of days usable after that deadline. The proposed enhancement introduces an additional layer of flexibility by enabling admins to: Define Carryover Limits: Set a maximum number of days that can be carried over into the new fiscal year. For example, if an employee has 12 unused days at the end of the year, admins can specify that only 10 days are eligible for carryover. Relation to Deadline: The carried-over days must be used before the established deadline. For instance, the 10 carried-over days must be used by March 31, after which any unused days will expire entirely. This new feature ensures clear and fair rules for managing leftover allowance days, aligning with company policies while offering employees better visibility and planning options.
