Calendar of absences and activities

In the Calendars section of the right-side menu, among other types, you can also find two calendars named Absences and Time Tracking and Activities. These calendars provide a comprehensive overview of absences and activities across the company, specific teams, or selected users. Let's take a closer look at how they work!

Calendar of absences

The Absence Calendar gives you a complete overview of user absences as well as bank holidays. By default, it displays the bank holidays of your company’s country. However, when viewing absences for employees based in other countries, their respective national holidays will be shown accordingly.

At the top of the calendar, you’ll find a range of filters that allow you to narrow the view by:

• Specific time frames

• Types of absence

• Selected users

Managing Absences as an Administrator

Administrators have the ability to add or delete absence events for any user in the company directly from the calendar.

Deleting an Absence

To delete an absence event:

1. Click on the event you wish to delete.

2. A preview window will open.

3. Click the Delete option that appears.

You can also leave a comment—for example, to explain to the user why the absence was cancelled. It's possible to tag the user in the comment section so they receive a notification.

Adding an Absence

Administrators can also add absence events directly to the calendar. This function is available for active users only and can be applied to any time period, including past dates. This is especially useful when starting to use Sloneek mid-year and needing to log past absences that have already been taken.

To create a new absence:

1. Click the New Absence button in the top-right corner.

2. A form will appear where you can specify:

   • User name

   • Type of absence

   • Start and end date

Once submitted, the absence will be recorded directly in the calendar.

Calendar Time tracking and activities

The Activities Calendar provides a comprehensive overview of all users' activities. Similar to the Absences Calendar, it allows you to filter activities by a specific timeframe, selected activity types, or users.

Administrators can also create an activity entry for any user by clicking the New Activity button in the upper-right corner. A new window will open, enabling the admin to input all relevant activity details, including whether the activity is associated with a specific client or project.

Activities can be added retrospectively or scheduled in advance, making this feature particularly useful for planning and assigning shifts.
