Absence board

[TanyaDigi (Tanya)]

If this has already been asked and I couldn’t find it, I would appreciate the guidance as to where the answer is.

We need a board where the employees will mark only if they will be absent for any reason (vacation, illness/half day) - as advance planning.
Employees are divided into categories (project manager, developer, IT, etc.)
It’s best to have it on a monthly schedule.
Preferably - there should be a request for administrator approval\ and only if approval appears in this color, otherwise pending or in another color for refusal.

Hey Tanya!

Charlotte here from the monday team! Just gonna list some ideas/resources below and perhaps our Community can contribute some expertise from their own use cases

• Employees vacation tracking and planning template

• Statuses with custom labels for their categories (project manager, developer, etc) or using dropdown columns.

• Recurring automations for refreshing the date and timeline columns every month

• Utilizing forms to submit PTO/absence notices or requests that come into your board as items, with a default value of “pending”, and then administrators can change the status to “approved”.

I hope this is helpful! Let me know your thoughts and we can go from there!
