The HydroApps mobile app makes it quick and easy for staff to submit, review, and update time off requests directly from their phone. Whether requesting a full vacation week or a short appointment during the day, staff can manage scheduling requests without needing access to a desktop computer.
Accessing Time Off Requests
There are two ways to access time off requests in the HydroApps mobile app:
Option 1: Navigation Menu
Open the Navigation Menu
Tap Time Off Requests
Option 2: Scheduling Dashboard
Open the Scheduling Dashboard
Select Time Off Requests
Both options allow staff to create new requests and review existing submissions.
Submitting a Full-Day Time Off Request
To request multiple full days off:
Tap the New Time Off Request button
Select the start date
Select the end date
Choose All Day
Select the reason or request type
Add optional notes or comments
Tap Save and Exit
For example, staff may submit vacation requests, personal days, or other scheduling conflicts directly through the app.
Once submitted, the request is automatically sent to management for review.
Submitting Partial-Day Time Off Requests
HydroApps also allows staff to request time off for only part of a shift or day.
To submit a partial-day request:
Select the date
Turn off the All Day option
Enter the start and end times
Add a reason or notes if needed
Save the request
This is useful for:
Doctor appointments
School events
Personal obligations
Late arrivals or early departures
Viewing Request Status
The mobile app allows staff to quickly filter and review requests by status, including:
Pending requests
Approved requests
Rejected requests
This helps staff easily track the status of submitted requests and upcoming schedule changes.
Editing Existing Requests
Time off requests can also be updated directly within the app.
For example, if plans change and additional time is needed:
Open the existing request
Adjust the requested time or dates
Save the changes
Managers will automatically see the updated request information.
Upcoming & Past Requests
The app displays both:
Recent past requests
Upcoming requests for the next several weeks
This gives staff a quick overview of scheduled time away and pending approvals.
A Faster Mobile Scheduling Experience
The HydroApps mobile app was designed to make scheduling communication simple and flexible for both staff and supervisors. With quick submission tools, editable requests, and real-time status tracking, staff can manage their availability and time off requests from anywhere.
