Calendar events

When Calendar integration has been enabled, an Outlook calendar event is created for absences created in Sage People WX, Sage People mobile, or the Sage People app for Microsoft Teams.

Time off

When using Outlook calendar integration for time off, a calendar event is created for absences created in Sage People WX, Sage People mobile, or the Sage People app for Microsoft Teams.

Absence events are created when:

  • A vacation absence is approved

  • An absence with a provisional end date is created (such as sickness).

When absences are canceled, the event is automatically removed from the team member's and manager's calendar. When an absence is updated, for example when a provisional end date is changed for a sickness absence, the event date range is automatically updated.

The default subject line for calendar invites is "[Team_Member_Name] Out of Office". This subject line can be changed by adding an override for the custom label Calendar_Event_Subject. See Editing Custom Labels.

Team members

A calendar event is automatically booked in the team member's calendar for the period of the absence.
