All team members can book their absence from within PSOhub's My Scheduler. This will enable project managers to easily track the attendance of team members and better manage project, task and resource planning.
Note: that this functionality does not book hours into a team member's timesheet calendar but it allows you to get an overview when members are absent.
In the following video, you will get an overview of how to leverage the Daily Scheduler in PSOhub.
Scheduling helps you think about what you want to achieve in a day, week, or month, and it keeps you on track to accomplish your goals. Not only can your project manager schedule your appointments but you can also take the lead in scheduling your project activities, absences, holidays and public holidays. This enables your project manager and yourself to have a clear overview of your availability.
To schedule you own event/appointment, choose from the menu Time & Expenses and My Scheduler:
