Employee vacations / sickness calendar digitized
-
Hello again guys,
In the rather small company I work, we do have this somewhat old school ( but maybe still a lot used in companies? ) calendar to mark peoples vacations, days of sickness, or some other reasons not to be at work with colored paper snippets ^^
So we plan to replace this board with a screen and obviously with a digitized version of it, where everyone related has access to the backend and can enter stuff.
First Ive been thinking of an online sheet like Googles or Excel online, but I had the thought, that there might be a way with a MM module?
Wed also like to use a different part of the screen to display some daily tasks for example, that would be also nice to set up with MM.Does anybody know of such a calendar like our current analogue version?
Thanks a lot and regards from Germany

That’s an awesome idea. The advantage being that you could have a scrolling calendar so you always see 12 months with the current date at the left. In addition, people could then pull it up on their own desktop to see it.
My first thought was to set up a google calendar for each person (just for this) and maybe use something like MMM-CalendarExt3 to display it. I think you’d have to standardize calendar entries (like “Sick”, “Holiday”, “Personal”, “Work-at-Home”) which could be picked up on for the color formatting.
But there might be other, simpler options, such as a simple text file where people could add dates they were out (“Uncle Roger”,“20260428”,“Sick”) that could be updated via a back-end webpage which is then used to fill in date cells in a simple table.
I suspect it will be a fair bit of work to get it set up but worth it in the long run.
You could look through the list of existing modules to see if there’s something that would work: https://kristjanesperanto.github.io/MagicMirror-3rd-Party-Modules/ or https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-Party-Modules
If you don’t have someone on staff who could handle the project, maybe find a teenager/college kid who would do it for a reasonable stipend?
Best of luck!

@UncleRoger please use the non wiki site (linked in the top menu here) for searches and module status. It is built from the wiki data (currently)
For the specific module requested, I. Think the issue is data entry, change and validation.
If you have a decent database with the info it can be shown pretty easily
Some personal info I might not want to be shown to everyone
My vacation schedule or health status for instance. -
Good morning gentlemen and thanks for your replies.
It really has no need to be somewhat complex, all I need is the analogue version as a digital table.
When there is no existing module but I still want to use MM ( because of other modules and the adaptable screen positioning , how about simply diplaying the sheet/table/excel file, do you think this will work? I mean I could use chromium and emb the excel file no?Id prefer your idea Roger, but this is way out of my skills range unfortunately
Edit: I guess Ill juts build a stupid table in sheets and try the GoogleSheetsModule
