Out of Office Period

People register an out of office period when they are planning to be unavailable to work on assignments for a period of time. When registering an out of office period, they can select an approval delegate. Any approval task that gets assigned to a person whose out of office period has started is automatically forwarded to the approval delegate if a delegate is specified in the out of office period.

People who work for an organisation that uses time allocations are asked to select a time allocation when they register an out of office period. This ensures that time entries get registered automatically for the duration of the out of office period.

Only the people who have access to the Settings console can open the ‘Out of Office Periods’ section to register multiple out of office periods for themselves. Account administrators and directory administrators can register and maintain out of office periods for all people who are registered in their account, or the directory account of their account. Managers can register and maintain out of office periods for all people of their team.

The Out of Office Period Fields page provides field utilization guidelines for each field of the Out of Office Period form.
