Previously, Kadence only let you set one status for a whole day — your day was either "In the office," "Working remotely," or another single status, all day long. Now you can split a single day into multiple time-blocked statuses instead — for example, working in the office in the morning and remotely in the afternoon, or a status for a few hours around a specific appointment.
If you don't see the option to add more than one status to a day yet, check with your Global Admin, or reach out to [email protected] to ask about availability for your account.
How it works
Adding a second (or third) status to your day
Go to your homepage schedule or your profile's weekly view, and select the day you want to update.
Set your first status and the time block it covers.
Add another status for the remaining part of the day, with its own time block.
Optionally, add free text to a status for more context (e.g. a client name or location).
Save — your day now shows each status side by side, covering its own time range.
Viewing multiple statuses
Homepage schedule – a day with more than one status shows each one as its own entry, rather than a single icon for the whole day.
Starred colleagues widget – colleagues with multiple statuses in a day show whichever status is currently active, with the rest of their day visible if you view their profile.
Team and profile pages – your team can see a colleague's full day broken into its individual statuses, rather than one blended label.
Where this comes from automatically
If your organization has HR system leave sync enabled, multi-status days can also be created automatically — for example, if someone takes half a day of approved leave, Kadence sets their morning to "Working" and their afternoon to "Not working" without anyone needing to edit anything by hand. See Your working status and leave in Kadence for more on this.
Good to know
This feature does not require an HR system integration — it's available independently, though it also powers the leave-sync experience for organizations that do have HR system integration enabled.
Mobile app support is being extended to bring iOS and Android in line with the web experience. If this matters for your rollout, check with your CSM on current availability.
Updating your status doesn't create, cancel, or change any booking — status and bookings are separate.
