After selecting Add Time-Off for a resource in the Resource Availability window, the Add Time Off window appears, Enter text or make selections:
Required. Defaults to today. Change to first date of the time-off range granted, if needed.
Required. Defaults to today. Change to last date of the time-off range granted, if needed.
