The Calendars feature is used to view calendars created by your Supervisor that display different types of data. The following are examples of Data types that can be displayed in a calendar:

• Absence — types of absences which are marked by their Absence codes, for example 'H' for Holiday. In addition to this, an action is available to book an absence for the highlighted date range.
• Availability — your availability for work each day. In addition to this, an action to add, delete and copy Availability after the cut-off day will be available in the right-hand pane.
• Clockings — a record of the time when you made a TMS or a TAS clocking.

• Messages — view and respond to messages sent to you by your Supervisor from within TMS.
