What is TeamCal Pro
TeamCal Pro is a web-based calendar application written in PHP and MySQL. It's purpose is the day-based absence management of project teams and their members.
The goal was to create an optically attractive but also effective representation of a calendar display, showing the presence and absence of each team member. TeamCal Pro supports the customization of holiday types and absence types, thus, its purpose can be altered to any graphical representation of timeline based processes or activities, e.g. a simple project plan or an event management. I have seen many great ideas of how to use TeamCal Pro.
TeamCal Pro is a free open source application. You can use it at no cost in any profit or non-profit environment. However, if you want to utilize TeamCal Pro in a commercial context (like managing your employees' absences) I kindly ask for a donation of 50.00 USD.

Features
TeamCal Pro offers a wide variety of options that you can use to adjust its features to your needs. Those include:
Year Calendar View
Besides of the month-based view you can switch to a year view for each user. In one glance you will see all absences of that user throughout the year. This is very helpful to sew how certain blocks of absences are spread over the year.
Daynotes
You can define notes for each day of the calendar like holidays, events, anniversaries and such. A daynote is indicated by a little red marker in the according cell. Moving the mouse over that cell will reveal the note in form of a pop-up window.
User Groups
Each user can be assigned to a group. The groups can be defined by the administrator. A user can be a simple member of a group or can be the manager of that group granting him certain additional rights.
Absence Types
The administrator can create and configure individual absence types. Besides an icon, a one-letter code and colors he can define thresholds and allowances per absence type.
Absence Type Icons
Each absence type can be assigned an icon. This icon is then displayed in the calendar views instead of it literal representation. TeamCal Pro comes with a variety of icon. Own icons can be uploaded as well.
Declination Management
Based on thresholds of a maximum absence percentage per group the Declination Management will provide approval capabilities to group managers.
Comfortable Menu
TeamCal Pro makes use of the comfortable jsCookMenu. It does not only look nice but it also offers a very convenient way to navigate through the many features of the application.
