Step 1: Edit the program#
Open the web dashboard, switch to Admin and open the Settings tab. Click Edit on the program.
Step 2: Turn on the out-of-office option#
Turn on Automatically opt-out people who are set as OOO in their calendar. It's off by default.
Step 3: Click Save#
Click Save.
How it works#
- It only works for people who connected their calendar (Google or Outlook). Everyone else is matched as usual.
- Alfy checks the calendar when it draws the round's groups, for the time the round starts. Someone out of office then is left out of that round only.
- In the round's details, these people are listed with the tag
Out of office. Before the round, an admin can still move them back into a group from the round's details.
