Leavetrack Update - Making Calendars First Class

Posted by Robin on 03 Apr, 2021 in Leavetrack Update

Leavetrack has had iCal integrations for some time so you can import staff leave records into your favourite calendar application. The links for this though have been buried in the application in various places such as the employee record and reports screen.

Now, all employees can retrieve their accessible calendars by going to My Record > Calendars. You can copy the calendar link and import it into your favourite calendar application such as Apple Calendar or Google Calendar. The page will show when the calendar was last accessed and by which application. Calendar feeds are updated on the following events:

  • An absence is approved
  • An absence is cancelled
  • An employee is added to your account

This means that unapproved absences will not show in calendar feeds.

Access to Calendars

Access to calendars varies based on your role within the organisation.

Admin: Has access to account, department and employee calendars

Approver: Has access to calendars for their department, any additional departments to which they have access and employees in all their departments

User: Has access to the their own calendar and their department's calendar

Calendar feeds respect the "make public" settings on absence categories so if an employee books leave in a category that is not set to public, that information will not show up in the calendar feeds.
