# Tasks, interviews and time off on the calendar

Click a task, an interview or a time off on the calendar to see its details. From there, mark a task as done, open an interview's application, or approve or reject a time off request.

## Tasks

A task shows on the day it is due, with the person it is assigned to. A completed task is crossed out.

Click a task to see who it is assigned to and its “Status”: “To do” or “Done”. Then:

- Click “Mark as done” to complete it, or “Reopen” to open it again.
- Click “Open task” to see the whole task.

To change the due date, drag the task to another day. A message confirms the new date, with “Undo” to put it back.

To create a task, see [Create a task](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/create-a-task).

## Interviews

An interview shows at its time, with the interviewers. Click it to see where it takes place and who runs it, under “With”. A video link opens in a new tab.

- Click “Open application” to see the candidate's application.
- To change the time, drag the interview to another time. To make it longer or shorter, drag its bottom edge.

> **Note**
> Moving an interview on the calendar sends no e-mail. Tell the candidate and the interviewers about the new time.

Interviews are planned on the candidate's application, in the “Interviews” tab. You can also let the candidate choose a time: see [Let a candidate choose an interview time](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/let-a-candidate-choose-an-interview-time).

## Time off

The calendar shows your employees' time off, from the first to the last day. A half day shows on its day.

- A request that is waiting shows striped, with the status “Pending approval”.
- An approved time off shows in full colour.
- A rejected request is crossed out.

To answer a request, click it, then:

- Click “Approve”.
- Or click “Reject”, type the reason and click “Reject” again.

Either way, the employee gets an e-mail with your answer, and with the reason when you reject.

## Holidays

The holidays of your workspace show as all-day events in grey. They are set in Human Resources: “Settings”, then “Holidays”.

## What you need

Each action needs the same permission as elsewhere in Skileo. A “Business owner” can do them all. A “Member” needs:

- “Tasks” with “Write”: to complete, reopen or move a task.
- “Applications”: to open an application, and “Write” to move an interview.
- “Time off” with “Write”: to approve or reject time off.

Without the permission, the button doesn't show and the event can't be dragged.


## Common questions

### Can I delete a task or an interview from the calendar?

No. Open the task or the application to delete it.

### Why don't I see interviews or time off?

As a “Member”, you only see interviews with the “Applications” permission, and time off with the “Time off” permission. Also check that the “Interviews” and “Time off” buttons under the toolbar are on.

### Does the employee get an e-mail when I answer their request?

Yes. They get an e-mail when you approve the request, and an e-mail with your reason when you reject it.
