Log-offs

The log-off module lets team members log off for specific time periods or specific events. This feature is especially useful for team meetings, as logged-off members automatically appear as "logged off" in the corresponding meetings when the log-off overlaps with the meeting period.

How it works

The log-off system offers the following options:

• Time-based log-offs: Log off for a specific time period
• Event-specific log-offs: Targeted log-off for individual meetings
• Automatic integration: Link with the meetings module
• Reason required: Transparency through stating log-off reasons

View log-offs

You can view all your log-offs clearly in your team profile:

Navigation: Team profile > Your log-offs

Best practices

Log off in good time

• Submit log-offs as early as possible
• Log off at least 24 hours before a meeting
• In case of illness: submit as soon as possible afterward

Meaningful reasons

• Keep them short and precise
• No sensitive details required
• Examples: "Vacation", "Illness", "Family appointment"

Regular review

• Regularly review expired log-offs
• Delete log-offs that are no longer valid
• Inform the team if you become available unexpectedly
