Enhanced filtering for a clearer picture of time off
Enhanced filtering for a clearer picture of time off
We're thrilled to share our latest improvements to Float! The new any (all types) time off filter makes it a breeze to see who's working and who's taking some well-earned leave.
When you check the box next to the any (all types) filter, existing tasks on the Schedule are greyed out, and only your team's time off displays.
This provides a clear overview of your team's availability and work schedules, so you can quickly identify who is ready to take on more tasks and who's out there soaking up the sun on a beach somewhere. 🏖️
Keep an eye out for an additional update soon that will allow you to filter team members in or out of view based on whether they have time off scheduled within a specified date range.
Managing your team's time off has never been easier!

Sub-departments let you create mini-teams within teams in Float
Sub-departments let you create mini-teams within teams in Float
Start nesting teams within teams by adding sub-departments. Sub-departments let you set up your team precisely how you want and provide greater flexibility over your org.
The manager role in Float allows you to cherry-pick permissions based on your organization's hierarchy and structure and decide who and what each person can manage—assigning a new sub-department to a manager will give them the ability to:
- Approve time off for their sub-department team members
- Filter their Schedule view by sub-department
- Schedule and reassign work for their sub-department team members
For example, you could create sub-departments for frontend, backend, and mobile engineering teams within the engineering department. This makes it easier for managers to oversee their team members and allocate resources.
Add more hierarchy to your Float account with workspaces
Sub-departments are just the beginning of more hierarchical features coming soon to Float!
We're also exploring adding a new workspaces feature to allow organizations to switch between/share resources across teams. If you're interested in getting an early look at the feature, please contact us at insights@float.com.
