Hi,

I'd like to have the option to use calendars on a personal basis (similar to MS Project-style resource calendar).
This is for easier planning: team members could enter their holidays well in advance, even if they haven't confirmed their dates yet. For example, if someone knows that they will be taking roughly two weeks off in the summer months, they could easily grey out two weeks in their calendar.
If these dates are confirmed, the user will enter these days as 'holidays' in Real Work Allocation (RWA), making it official. But if the dates change in the end, the user can also log work on other activities, confirming that his holiday dates have changed.

So it would be : calendar used for easy planning purposes (medium - long term), and RWA used for official accounting.

In the current process, this is possible using only RWA, but the user interface makes it easier to use in the Calendar view.
Also, the Calendar feature can support this - all that is missing is some access rights management (ability to configure access so Team Members can edit only their own calendar, but PL can edit any TM's calendar), and perhaps an optional "resource" field so personal calendars can be identified.

What do you think ?

This is not possible and would be an important change as today calendar is not linked to a single resource but to possibly several ones.
PL could change a calendar that is used by one of his resources but also possibly by another that is not on his team...
Also a resource could change his calendar, that is also used by another resource.

So this would need a real ownership definition, and that would entierly change the calendar behavior.
This will not integrate community road map. Idea of ProjeQtOR is not to do "like MS-Project does" even if it need to change habits.
