Share team's work calendar (vacation days etc) with non-admins
I like Wrike's option to set your own work week and identify any PTO/sick days you have scheduled. I would really like if non-admins could see everyone's calendar so we could schedule tasks around these days. It would eliminate the question of "where is XX name?". We currently use outlook to do this but having it one place (Wrike) would be better. I would also like Wrike to allow us to change the status to something "In the field" or "Working from home".
Hi Mariel, cool idea 👍
Thanks for sharing here!
This will help us a lot. For the moment the team calendar is in excell and not linked to Wrike.
So this is not optimal. Everything in one place will be better
Has there been progress here? This is the closest I could find for what my team is looking for:
Why? - We want to see everyone's PTO schedule in one calendar view. With 70 team members, it is difficult to keep track of everyone's schedule.
Current Workaround - We were told of a workaround, but do not plan to use it. The suggestion is to create tasks with date ranges for when a team member is on PTO. The task will drop into a folder. The calendar filter shows the tasks from the folder.
Suggestion - Have a calendar filter that can pull from Work Schedules (found within each user's settings). This reduces the double work put on team members (ie. adding to the Work Schedule to prevent tasks assigned to a user while out, AND adding to a calendar by typing in details for tasks that aren't actually "tasks").

Thank you for reaching out! For now, this isn't on the team's short-term roadmap to change this, but I'm wondering why the workaround doesn't work for you? It's also possible to set up a request form for PTO/sick leave/etc so that once a team member submits it, a task is created in a designated folder and it also appears on the team calendar that shows all tasks from that folder

We have an ADP where you submit time off requests, as I'm sure many companies have. With the work around, this is what an employee and manager's workflow would look like:

Thank you for getting back to me Mollie Fabel! I can see how these work schedule improvements would help your team! This feedback is with the Product team and there are any updates in the future, I'll let you know here 👍

Thanks Lisa! I appreciate it.
This will certainly help us too .. since the data for non working days is already there it would be desirable to have a calendar view on top of it.
