Hi LeaveWizard team,
I'd like to suggest a few improvements to the Staff Leave Planner within the Customer Portal to enhance usability and efficiency for both staff and managers.
More Detailed Leave Overview:
It would be helpful to have a clearer, more interactive calendar view showing all team members' approved and pending leaves, including half-day or overlapping leaves. This helps managers better plan team availability.
Leave Cancellation Approval Workflow:
Currently, when staff cancel a previously approved leave, it goes through instantly. I suggest adding an optional setting where cancellations also require manager approval, to avoid scheduling conflicts—especially when cover has already been arranged.
Real-Time Sync Notifications:
Notifications for approved/rejected/cancelled leave requests should be available both by email and inside the portal (e.g. a notification bell icon), especially for larger teams where tracking changes can be difficult.
Mobile-Friendly Enhancements:
The customer portal is functional, but a more mobile-optimized view would make it easier for staff to check and manage their leave on the go.
I believe these changes would significantly improve the experience for all users. Thanks for the great tool and for continuing to listen to your community!
Best regards, space waves
