[17.0] hr_employee_calendar_planning: how can we show a calendar view with the planning of employee ?

[cvinh]

Is your feature request related to a problem?
We would like to have a calendar view showing the planning for employees in real time (filtered/grouped by department or job position for example)

Describe the solution you'd like
A calendar view prefilled with a wizard or a cron job

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context
It's useful for a manager to have the global view of his employee planning to be sure every job position is filled up for the next months...
Calendar can be modified in case of an employee is sick or wants to change his planning with another employee...

@pedrobaeza do you have a solution ?

Check OCA/shift-planning#8 as an alternative

Oh nice thanks !
So... what is the usability for hr_employee_calendar_planning ? I see we can manage much better but I don't see the usability...

[pedrobaeza]

For example for Easter periods with special calendars, so you switch in advance for that dates.

Thanks I see that kind of case. But IMHO the GUI is not easy for a odoo user, I mean once the planning is setup, I think it's not easy to have a global view to check everything is all setup... and the Employee himself, how can he see his planning without a calendar view... I'm sorry I don't see how

BTW hr_shift looks much more ergonomic so I think we're going on it

Yeah, a global calendar view may be missed here, but it shouldn't be the regular need for theses use cases. The shift one, as you require to plan according capacities, it's more suitable and have views centered in this goal.

If someone's interested in, we tested hr_shift with our use case and it's not working because it's not (yet) possible to make shift templates with different schedule for an employee. For example monday morning, tuesday afternoon, wednesday no work, thursday evening, friday morning, saturday afternoon.
On the other hand hr_employee_calendar_planning does it out of the box.
So I'm reopening this and will improve it with our use case

Not our use case right now, but I think wouldn't be hard to add it to the current scheme.

Right now you can edit them day by day by employee.

For the other points: sure they'd be nice to have, but we already run out of budget 😅 and the initial scope for our customers is finished.

It's a different kind completely. We know it well (as we created it 😄 ) and it had it's own issues when you end with thousands of resource.calendar.attendance records...

Thanks for explaining that... I think we could share in private our use cases because we are NOT out of budget ;-)
