How to manage absences, holidays and public holidays during resource planning

Updated 29 December 2025

With the latest Capacity and Resource Planning features in PSOhub, tracking absences, holidays and public holidays has become seamless. Tasks can now be allocated to team members considering their overall capacity, roles and planned absences. Any scheduled absences or holidays input in the Scheduler or Absence Calendar will now automatically reflect in Resource Planning, facilitating efficient resource allocation.

Scheduling an absence or holiday for a resource

There are two primary methods for scheduling absences, holidays or public holidays within PSOhub:

Note: Only admin users will have access to the Absence Calendar. However, admins, controllers and project managers can make use of the Scheduler.
