Can Scheduled Absences be less than 1 day in duration


Jeff Barrett (2143) | asked Apr 14 '09, 2:39 p.m.
In the User Editor on the Scheduled Absences tab, I don't see a way to enter anything other than full-day absences. Is it possible to schedule 1/2-days somehow?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

The Absences are stored and reported with date time format.
If I set absences with help of Java API, I have to provied startdate and enddate with time. Today I set 12:00AM - 11:59PM.

What happens if I set just a few hours in the absences with help of Java-API?

As the enhancement for this has not been implemented yet, Work allocations could be used as a workaround

  • Let’s say I have defined my normal work allocation for Project/team X to be 50%
  • Now lets say for a specific day, I normally work 8 hours but I’m going to schedule 3 hours of absence in that day.
  • I add a new work allocation for that specific day set to 31%  (based upon 50% * (8-3)/8 = ~31%)

It would be quite an overhead to have to do this for frequent absences or for a lot of projects & teams so the enhancement would be a better method.
