With Placeholders, you can add virtual users to Scheduling. This means that you can schedule people that are not yet a part of your organisation, or you just want to plan ahead and see if you should look for new teammates.

To edit a Placeholder, simply go to Settings > Placeholders where you can rename it, change the colour scheme and change the cost rate as well.
