Time Off - Calendar Entry for Absences

[m_bacskai]

Hi All,

I want to configure that if employees send and absence request in Time Off they receive an ICS calendar file that they can put into their Outlook calendar.

I found this configuration method:

In this scenario you download the ICS file separately and you add it to your Outlook calendar.

Would it be possible that the calendar file is attached in the email that Time Off sends to employees after submitting an absence request?

Hi mate.bacskai ,

We do not plan to include the .ics file in the email notification. However, we plan to add it to the historical time off overview in the UI. So, after creating the absence, you can still access the .ics file and save it into your outlook calendar.

Kind Regards,

Hi Mate,

On Manage Data > Time Management Configuration, change the allow employees to download the calendar file from "No" to "Yes".

Thanks

Hello,

I just applied this setting but now the time off request is not triggering the approval workflow. Is this a expected behavior? Did i miss some step?

Best Regards.
