Set available-to-work days by user

[Katie_Kendle]

I would love a way to automate our schedules. We have lots of part-time people who only work certain days of the week, and the nature of our work involves lots of changing due dates. We’d like to be able to set a person’s scheduled work days at the user level, so that when we are changing due dates on their tasks, Asana knows which days are available. Currently this is a very manual process.

If anyone knows of a workaround, or an external tool that will do this, I am all ears!

Hi @Katie_Kendle, thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback

Hopefully this is something our Product team can implement in the future. I’ll keep you posted on any updates here on this thread

Have you been able to address individuals availability?

Here are two feedback requests you might be interested upvoting:

Show a warning when assignee is on vacation

Situation: I have to assign a task with a due date of 4th of July. The person is already set her status as out of office between 1-10 July. Suggestion: Would be nice to have a warning to modify the due date as this person is not available at the given time.

Holiday/Leave/Block off time - either as PTO, Holiday, or all day task

Holiday/ Leave schedule - It would be great to have a section where you could put in ‘Away’ days for leave or holiday and you can not add tasks on these days or be assigned tasks on these days. Alert will then show. You’d have to make current tasks highlight too if they are in that date range or you cannot put in dates if you have tasks due then. HR integration which does a daily/ weekly call to see any dates scheduled off is next step.

For a potential workaround when somebody will be off and you have to reschedule all tasks see here.
