How do I set myself as away when I'm taking time off?

Alert your colleagues to your PTO with a few simple steps

Written by Ellen Kajca

Set your status to Out of office so your colleagues know you're away.

Set your status

  1. Click your profile picture in the top right. Point to your status at the top of the menu and select Out of office.

  2. Under Last day you'll be out of the office, select a date. For example, if you return on a Monday, select the Friday before.

  3. Click Set out of office.

To end it early, click Clear next to your status in the same menu.

What happens when you are 'Out of Office'?

Colleagues see your status on your profile picture in the chat panel. When someone @mentions you, assigns you an action or requests your approval, they see an Out of office conflict message.

Does the user status affect my availability in Resourcing?

No. If your plan includes Resourcing, also add your time off there: click Create, then Time off. You then show as fully booked, and people who assign you work during that time also see an Out of office conflict message.

Does Hive sync OOO status from Google or Outlook?

Yes. If Hive Mail and Hive Calendar are connected, Hive sets your status from out-of-office events in your Google or Outlook calendar.
