506192 - PTO app should allow you to view your own requests

Status: REOPENED

(Webtools :: PTO, defect, P1)

Description

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Would be nice to see what I've already entered.

For bonus points, let me delete requests that are still in the future.

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

seems like manager types would probably appreciate a way to list by a specific person who isn't necessarily themselves, too.

Seems like you can already see what you've entered in addition to what other people have entered.

If marking future requests deletable is still a desirable feature, it should be filed as a separate bug. Same goes for the listing-folks-who-aren't-necessarily-managers-themselves feature.

I suppose I didn't state that clearly enough.

I want a way to view *only* my requests, without having to find myself in a list of 200 people's vacation requests.

This is actually in the API right now, but not exposed in the UI. Do you think a Filter by Person UI à la https://intranet.mozilla.org/pto/report.php would do?

Need to build this this week!

Comment 7

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Right now I have to put in my own name in the filter section (and never remember if I'm Dave or David and have to try it both ways.  It should already know who I am, and ought to be able to auto-pick "mine" easily. In fact, I'd suggest that would be a better default view than showing everyone's anyway.

You'll only see your own, that'll fix that issue.

To re-iterate comment 10, as a manager I frequently use the list to remind me of my team's vacation plans. Please don't take that away!

I agree that this will be an annoying loss of functionality. Presumably this is motivated by privacy concerns with having everyone's PTO visible - do they really outweigh the utility? Are there no other ways to address them?

Comment 11

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

I'm actually fine amending the page with a way to view everyone who is "downstream" from you in the org chart. That's a new feature though (I'll go ahead and file that). What exists right now (everyone can see everything forever) has been carefully weighted and put on the chopping block because it's way too broad by default.
