New feature in actiPLANS: PTO Blackout Days

Hi Product Hunt Community!

New in actiPLANS: PTO Blackout Days — because some dates just can’t be flexible.

Whether it’s end-of-quarter crunch time or a major launch week, you can now block time-off requests when your team is needed most.

Here’s how blackout management just got easier:

✅ Visually mark blackout dates with standout colors on your team calendar

✅ Choose which leave types are restricted during these periods

✅ Give select users permission to bypass blackout rules (execs, on-call staff, etc.)

✅ Review and adjust blackout periods anytime via Leave Scheduling or the Corporate Calendar

✅ Export blackout days to external calendars using iCal integration

If someone tries to book time off during a blackout? They’ll be notified instantly and the request won’t go through.

Give it a try — and tell us how it fits into your workflow!
