Ask Vee about your time off in plain language, and it answers from your live data or prepares a leave request for you. Vee prepares, you submit: nothing is booked or cancelled without a confirmation step from you. ### Watch the tutorial A short walkthrough of asking Vee about your time off. ## Opening Vee - Sign in to your Vacation Tracker dashboard. - Click the purple Vee tab on the right of the page. - Type your question in Ask Vee anything, or click one of the suggestions. The Vee panel open on the dashboard, with the question box and suggested questions ## What to Ask You do not need to phrase things a particular way. For example: - "How many vacation days do I have left this year?" - "Explain my leave policy in plain English." - "Who on my team is off next week?" - "When could I take a week off?" ## Requesting Leave - Tell Vee what you need, for example "Request a half-day of Paid Time Off on Friday September 4th". - Vee replies with a card showing the leave type and dates it understood, and an Open leave request form button. - Click it. The normal Request Leave form opens with your leave type and dates filled in. - Check the details and press Request Leave. Vee never submits for you You always see the exact dates, times and your remaining balance before anything reaches your approver. Your normal policy rules apply on submit, just as they would if you had opened the form yourself. Check the time on half-days Vee passes over the date and leave type, but not the time. Asking for "Friday afternoon" still opens the form on the morning slot, so set the start and end time yourself before submitting. ## Cancelling Leave - Ask Vee, for example "Cancel my leave on September 4th". You can also ask what you have pending first, and Vee will list it. - Vee shows a Vee prepared this card with the dates and status. - Press Confirm to cancel, or Discard to leave the request as it is. ## Moving Leave to Different Dates Ask Vee to move a leave and it prepares the change for you to confirm. Half-days are the exception: a half-day cannot be edited once it exists, in Vee or in the dashboard. Vee will offer to cancel it and prepare a new request for the dates you want instead. ## Your Past Chats Click the clock icon at the top of the panel to see your earlier conversations. The + button starts a new one. ## Common Questions Vee said it would request my leave. Did it? No leave is booked until you press Request Leave on the form. To check, ask Vee what you have pending, or look at Upcoming Leaves on your dashboard. Can Vee book leave for one of my employees? No. Vee only submits requests for you, even if you are an Administrator. To add leave for someone else, use Users in your dashboard, or ask them to request it themselves. Can Vee approve or deny requests? No. Approvals happen in your dashboard, or in Slack and Microsoft Teams if you use one of those integrations. Vee can tell you what is pending, but it cannot decide on it. Vee said it couldn't find a help article. What now? Sometimes Vee cannot reach the knowledge base and will say so rather than guess at the steps. Try again in a few minutes, or search our knowledge base (https://vacationtracker.io/knowledge-base/) directly. Questions about your own balances, policy and team schedule are not affected. ### What's Next? Guide: What Is Vee and What Can It See?
