Calamari: ISB’s online leave application

Hat tip to Chad Bates for this information…
 
We are moving to an online Leave Application system for Certified Staff.  This Leave Application System was suggested by the Faculty Association, and is inline with our efforts to better use technology to improve school operations. The system we chose is called  ‘Calamari’ (….don’t ask, I have no idea). 
 
Calamari is built on G-Suite, meaning it’s accessible through your School Google account, or if your prefer there is an App for all smart phones.  Aside from processing leave applications, Calamari allows you to view your personal accrued leave and approval status.  
 
Take a minute to watch this short video to see how to use the system.  If your leave request requires a ‘sub’ we’d ask you still contact Khun Kaew : 087 980 3380 <kamolrak@isb.ac.th>.   In the future as we build trust in the system, we believe this can be fully automated an complete online. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
 
Configuration for Calamari App: The initial setup of the Calamari App requires a URL, use this address: isbangkok.asia and then login to the App with your School Google login.
