Centralized Vacation Management

Take command of your vacation scheduling with tools crafted for seamless coordination.

Keep everything in one place

High-level overview and planning

Flat Year View provides a comprehensive vacation days overview, simplifying time-off planning and highlighting long weekends.

Approve PTO from the calendar

Where your leave list uses SharePoint content approval, approvers with the right permissions can approve or reject a request straight from the event in Virto Calendar. The request, its policy and its history stay in the list that owns them.

Country holiday feeds

Public holiday calendars for each country the team works in are added as read-only iCalendar feeds and overlaid with leave, so both are read from the same view.

Keep approvers informed

Alerts on new requests

Virto Alerts & Reminder App emails approvers, or posts to Microsoft Teams, when a new request is added to the SharePoint leave list, so nobody has to watch the list for changes.

A reminder before leave starts

Virto Alerts & Reminder App can also send an email reminder on a date in the leave list, such as a few days before a request's start date. Decisions made in Virto Calendar App are written back to the source list rather than stored separately in the calendar.

Increase team visibility

Shared schedules

Distribute out-of-office schedules across the team, integrating them with group or project calendars for effective collaborative planning.

Every absence on one grid

Month, Year Quarter and Flat Year views show the team's leave side by side, so a new request can be weighed against who is already away.

Regional closures, labelled

Holidays observed only in some regions carry their region codes, so Virto Calendar App shows a partial closure as a partial closure.

Key benefits

One view for leave and holidays

Virto Calendar App draws approved time off and national holidays in the same calendar, so neither has to be checked separately.

Country coverage without extra calendars

Public holiday feeds for each country a team works in sit alongside leave, instead of living in separate calendars people forget to open.

Regional holidays stay labelled

Holidays that only some regions observe carry their region codes, so a partial closure is not read as a national one.

Approved leave in view

The calendar shows leave by its status in the source list — in the recommended setup, approved leave only. Reasons and other sensitive HR fields stay in the system that holds them.

Existing Microsoft 365 permissions

Retain the access model of the connected source instead of creating a separate database of who is away.

Overlapping absence shows up early

Because the team's approved leave sits on one grid, an overlap appears while there is still time to plan around it.

When Virto Calendar App fits — and when it does not

Real-life scenario
Best fit
Why it works
A team spread across several countries

National and regional holidays are drawn alongside approved leave, so a planner does not have to hold each country's calendar in mind.

Seeing who is away across a whole quarter

Year Quarter lays out three months of team absence and country holidays on a single page.

Entitlement balances, accrual rules and approval policy
An HR or absence management system

Virto Calendar App shows when people are away. It does not calculate balances, hold entitlement rules or store the reason for leave — those stay in the system that owns them.
