How do I show leave or vacation time in Jira

[tonywilliams]

I have been asked to show leave or vacation time in Jira. How do I do this?

Hi there,

I realize that I might be necroposting, but you can achieve this quite efficiently with Out of Office Assistant.

This is how it looks like:

Note that vacations can be scheduled directly on the app or synced with outlook or Google Calendar via Zapier.

For full disclosure, this app is manufactured by my employer, resolution GmbH

Hi @Jaime Capitel _resolution_ 

is integrating "OOOA" with Outlook via Zapier the only way you can achieve it, to get absences to Jira?

Thanks, Alex

Hi @Alex Ziegltrum !

Sorry for the late response, I was, quite aptly, on vacation for a couple of weeks.

Yes, currently Zapier is the only way you can send absences to Jira from Outlook. Would that be a blocker for you?

There's also an available REST API, so if you have technical expertise on your team, it would also be possible to make a custom integration to whatever you're using.

Hey @Jaime Capitel _resolution_ ,

is your API available publicly and could you share the link to the documentation?

Thanks!

Hope you can achieve what you're looking for!

That depends on your requirements/goals. If you are looking for an integrated solution then you need to consider an addon like Tempo or similar. However, if you just want to create a calendar that you and the team can reference as an FYI then you could do that in Confluence.

Hi @tonywilliams 
If you are talking about Boards, you may add "non working days" in the board configuration :

This date is the same for all the people sharing the board.

Hope this helps!
