One of the feature requests we received was the ability for administrators to edit their peoples unavailability. Sometimes it's easier to make the change on someones behalf, for example if they have told you offline,  rather than ask them to sign in and do it themselves.

Not only editing, previously the only way to view people's unavailability was to try to assign them to something, only then to find that they weren't available.

So, without further ado, we have now given you the ability to view your people's unavailability and edit it in the exact same you used to edit your own.

If you are an administrator or manager you will find this new feature next time you go to your Unavailability page. You will now be presented with a list of all the people under your management and the teams they are members of.

You might have noticed the green and red bars in the screenshot above. This shows the unavailability of the person over the next 7 days, which allows you at a glance to see who is available and who isn't.

Once you click on the person's name the interface is exactly the same as it was previously.

There is a notable exception though; managers will only be allowed to view their team members unavailability, where as administrators will be allowed to edit it also. This is shown in the screenshot above where the manager can only view Mary's holiday to France and not edit it.

We hope this feature makes GoAssign even easier to use and we look forward to bringing you more great features like this in the weeks to come.
