Viewing Time Off Territory as

Saved Time Off Territory records display in My Schedule. In order for the Time Off Territory to display, the current user must be the Owner on the time_off_territory__v record. All-day or multi-day entries display at the top of the calendar.
To edit or view a Time Off Territory record, select the Time Off Territory entry. A popover displays with View and Edit options.
Time Off Territory does not change based on the user’s time zone. For example, you create an ‘AM Off’ Time Off Territory record for Tuesday while in the U.S. Eastern time zone. You later travel to the West Coast for a conference. When you are in the U.S. Pacific time zone, the Time Off Territory entry does not adjust to display later in the day based on the new time zone. The Time Off Territory entry continues to display for 8 AM-12 PM Tuesday morning, regardless of your time zone.
Scheduling Multi-Day Time Off Territory on Weekends as

If users schedule a multi-day Time Off Territory entry spanning the weekend, the system bypasses the weekend days (based on the user’s locale) when calculating and displaying the Time Off Territory in My Schedule.
For example, a Time Off Territory record starts on Thursday and continues for three days. If your user locale is en_US, My Schedule does not include Saturday or Sunday as working days, and so the Time Off Territory entry displays on Thursday, Friday, and Monday. If your user locale is iw (Israel), the same three-day Time Off Territory record displays on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday because Israel has a Sunday through Thursday work week.
Work weeks and weekends for Israeli locales are listed in the table below.
