Work Schedule Calendar Exception by the Hour

I'd like to create a calendar exception in the work schedule by the hour. Just mark that I'm off at noon or off at 3pm, for example, for just one day. I'm an outside source for a business and I work in Wrike for them. It's helpful for me to be able to mark when I'm out of the office away from their usual working hours as the other teams, for example, wouldn't know that. Does that make sense?

Hi @Erin Engle, welcome to the Community and thanks for sharing your feedback here! 🙂

It makes total sense, I'll be passing your feedback to the team and once it reaches 60 upvotes, our Product team will add a status here. More info here: /hc/en-us/community/posts/360014354593--Read-Me-Product-Feedback-forum-Guidelines-and-Statuses

For now, I'd suggest using a calendar for this. You can create a folder for your times off, and create a task for each time like that. Then create a task-based smart calendar that will be showing tasks from the folder created by you. Share that calendar with the team members who need to know you're not in the office. This is workaround, of course, but I hope it might help! Please let me know if you'd like to discuss, I'll be happy to provide more details 🙌

What is the status of the development of work schedule by hourly basis?

This would definitely be useful. Also being able to customize the reasons for time off. There is another thread for this /hc/en-us/community/posts/115000146989-Custom-Classifications-for-Calendar-Exceptions but for some reason I can't comment there.

We need to be able to categorize types of leave for HR reporting. Without being able to customize the exception types we need to have everyone report time off in two places, in Wrike for projects and in another tool for HR.

In conjunction with being able to set another user's work schedule exceptions (e.g. via API) this would be a valuable part of integration with holiday booking systems, and work loads based on it.

At the moment I am working around these omissions by instead creating tasks for people (which causes a certain amount of notification spam as they are assigned) and setting the effort to allow for half days.
