The team member list contains all team members with their roles, calendar, workload scheme, joining and leaving dates.
There is an active team member and an inactive team member list.
The inactive list contains a list of team members, whose joining and/or leaving dates are in the past or in the future. For example:
The joining date is 20.07.2020. The leaving date is 20.07.2021 → User is inactive.
The joining date is 20.07.2040. The leaving date is 20.07.2041 → User is inactive.
Inactive users cannot log time to the team. They are kept for statistics, historical reasons and to use their data for example in the Report Builder reports.

Joining and Leaving dates
Using Joining and Leaving dates, you can set a team participant's working period. Once you set up join and leave dates, you can be sure that this team member will not be able to log time or manage logs out of their active period. For example, if a team member works on your team from May 1, 2023 to July 31, 2023, you can select May 1 as the joining date and July 31 as the leaving date. In this case, the user will not be able to record time for any date out of the selected activity period. Users who have access to team member statistics or can manage other team members' work logs will not be able to apply any changes or see any statistics if they are inactive on the team.
Active users appear in the Active tab, while inactive users who have left or have not yet joined the team appear in the Inactive tab.
To select a joining or a leaving date, please click on respective field and selet a date.
Please note, that:
Leaving date cannot be earlier than Joining date
Joining and leaving dates can be empty. If you leave these fields blank, the user will always be active
Joining and leaving dates cannot be earlier than the periods start date specified in the configuration. For example, if the first calculated period is May 2023, you cannot select a date in April 2023
If you subsequently change the join and leave dates, or add a user in the past period, there will be issues with the capacity calculation
