Do you have allocations that aren't quite ready to be assigned to your team yet or need a planning space for future hires?
Placeholders are perfect for storing allocations that can be quickly dragged and dropped onto a team member's schedule when the time is right.
Each Float plan includes a set number of Placeholders at no additional cost:
Starter: 1 Placeholder
Pro: 5 Placeholders
Enterprise: Custom to your team’s needs. Chat with sales to find out more!
Additional Placeholders over these amounts will count as paid seats on your plan.
To add a Placeholder, select Placeholder from the Type drop-down when adding a new person or editing an existing one.

No email or access rights can be assigned to Placeholders.
Placeholders will not display any availability/overtime hours in the reports and can be excluded from your reporting by unchecking the box at the top of the page.
You can search/filter Placeholders like you can other resources.
Placeholders appear at the bottom of the Schedule by default but can be moved using the custom sort option.
Time off cannot be scheduled for a Placeholder.
Placeholders can't be set to part-time.
