Entity for Time Off in Resource Calendar?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We are using Dynamics 365 9.x.  We have been using an ETL to update data from our ADP instance into contacts and resources in CRM.

We would like to copy ADP vacation requests into the resource schedule in CRM.  We are not doing any time off approvals in CRM, which I believe would end up in the ms_dyn_timeoffcalendar.  That entity is empty as expected.

I found an old CRM 2011 code snippet with a screenshot of exactly what I want implying it was created using a combination of calendarrule and an inner calendar entity.  ( https://nishantrana.me/2013/04/29/programmatically-set-time-off-for-the-system-user-in-crm-2011/ ).

However, that does not seem to be the case for my tenant.

If I go to a resource's calendar and enter time off via the drop down, what entity stores that data?

    I was looking for the very same entity.

    It seems the entities that stores this data are the "calendar" and "calendar rules". These are not visibile in UI, but they are available when searching with the XrmToolBox FetchXMLBuilder.

    If you actually populate the time off request entity, it will update the Work Calendar of a bookable resource, which then blocks them off the calendar on the schedule board.
