Managing Absences and Holidays

Overview

Keeping your team's schedule accurate is essential for effective check-ins. Troopr allows you to manage both individual absences and global holidays so that team members aren't prompted for updates when they are away, and standups are paused for everyone during public holidays.

You can manage these settings from the Team Settings menu under the Absences & holidays tab.

Individual Absences

If a team member is on vacation or taking a personal day, you can schedule their absence to ensure Troopr skips them during automated check-ins. This prevents unnecessary notifications and keeps your reports clean.

How to add an absence

1. Navigate to Team Settings and select the Absences & holidays tab.

2. Click on the Absences sub-tab.

3. Click + Add Absence.

4. Select the team member from the dropdown menu.

5. Choose the Start Date and End Date for their time off.

6. Click Save.

Once added, the team member will be automatically excluded from all check-in prompts during the specified period.

Workspace Holidays

For public holidays or company-wide days off, you can set global holidays. When a holiday is active, Troopr pauses all check-in activities for the entire team.

How to add a holiday

1. In the Absences & holidays tab, select the Holidays sub-tab.

2. Click + Add Holiday.

3. Enter the Holiday Name (e.g., "New Year's Day").

4. Select the Date for the holiday.

5. Click Save.

Managing Existing Entries

You can view all upcoming absences and holidays in their respective lists within the settings tab. If plans change, you can edit or delete an entry by clicking the action icons next to the specific record. This ensures your team's availability is always up to date.
