Ability to view all PTO of team on one Calendar

Hello Kirsten Ruf, thanks for posting! I can suggest creating a folder such as "Marketing Team Holidays" and adding holding tasks for PTO's into the folder with reflective titles i.e. Cansu PTO, and schedule for the vacation dates. You can then use this folder as the "task source" when creating a calendar and have an overview of the team holidays. 

Please let me know if you have any questions 🙋🏻‍♀️

We handle PTO as tasks, created by request forms. They go into an Admin space and there is a PTO calendar which will display the "tasks".

My biggest issue with Wrike is that there is no correlation between the system work schedules and the rest of the Wrike workspace. So there is no intrinsic PTO features and you can't link the system settings work schedules to the PTO tasks created in the space. 

When someone requests PTO through a form, we approve it and set the status to reflect on the calendar. Then we have to manually to to System Settings and update the individual Work Schedule. There is no way to link these processes. 

Other PM platforms I have looked at in the past had a native PTO handling feature that did not require this clunky approach of using standard tasks and folders to fake the PTO tracking, while also manually entering it into the system settings. 

I wish this worked differently in Wrike and could be managed more efficiently.

Hi Jason Pontius, thanks for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your detailed feedback on PTO tracking across Wrike and it's been shared with our Product team.
