Resource absences you define periods of time when a service resource is unavailable to work. Unless you’re using the Field Service managed package, service resources can still be assigned to appointments that conflict with their absences.

Create a trigger that sends an approval request to a supervisor when a service resource creates an absence.

If you’re not using the Field Service managed package, a calendar view isn’t available for individual service resources.
