How Do I Limit Users' Visibility?
We at Vacation Tracker understand that managing visibility for the employees is important for many of our clients. Because of that, we’re introducing a new add-on to our system called Visibility Manager. With this tool, Admins in Vacation Tracker will be able to limit visibility to their Users so they can only view scheduled leaves from other team members in their department.
| This add-on can be used in both Core and Complete plan.
How does the Visibility Manager work?
For example, let's say Bart Simpson is a User in the Human Resources department, and his Approver is John Wick.
In the Department of Compliance, Iron Man is a User, and John Wick is also his Approver.
By activating the Visibility Manager, Users will only be able to see leaves in their own department
- Bart Simpson can see leaves in the Human Resources department only.
- Iron Man can see leaves in the Compliance department only.
- Since John Wick is an Approver for the Compliance and Human Resources department, he’s able to view leaves for both departments.

Now that we understand how the feature works, let’s set it up:
- Go to the Vacation Tracker Dashboard - app.vacationtracker.io/signin
- On the left-hand side click on Workspace Settings > Add-ons.
- Search for the Visibility Manager Add-on and click on it.
You will receive a pop up screen asking you to confirm your subscription. After clicking on confirm, you can proceed with the configuration.
4. Click on Yes to Limit visibility for users.
A new line will appear, choose what Users can see and select Their department
5. Click on Save
**Please note that at this time, only Vacation Tracker Admins can set up/edit the Visibility Manager. **
