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.

Allocations stored on the placeholder on the Schedule.

Select Placeholder from the Type drop-down when adding a new person or editing an existing one.
