1. ### Open the calendar

   *Absences → Team calendar*. You see your team by default, plus any team you have read access to.
2. ### Filter

   By absence type, site, status (approved / pending). Save a filter as default view.
3. ### Spot conflicts

   Illizeo highlights in red periods with more than X simultaneous absences (X configurable per team).
4. ### Sync with your personal calendar

   *Outlook* / *Google Calendar* buttons. Team absences appear alongside your meetings.

## FAQ

   Are reasons visible?

Depending on your rights. A manager sees the types (PL, RTT, Sick). A colleague only sees "out".

   Can I block out dates?

Yes, from *Settings → Blackout periods*. A blocked period prevents new submissions.

   How do I export?

Monthly PDF, PNG image or iCal feed. Handy for team meetings.

   Do former employees show?

No. Once archived, they disappear from the calendar. Their history stays in People Analytics.
