Creating and Managing Absences

Written by Merilin Peetris

This guide explains how to create, edit, and delete absence types (such as vacation, sick leave, or training) and how they are applied in work schedules.

1. Accessing Absence Settings

To manage absence types:

  1. Click on Settings.

  2. Select Absences.

The system includes three default absence types. These cannot be deleted, but their settings can be modified to suit your company’s needs.

2. Creating a New Absence Type

To add a new absence type:

  1. Click Add Absence.

  2. Enter the following information:

    • Name of the absence

    • Initial letter (used when the full name does not fit in the schedule view)

    • Color (to visually distinguish the absence in the schedule)

  3. Click Save.

3. Configuring Absence Settings

After creating the absence type:

  1. Click Advanced Settings.

  2. Select the appropriate options based on your company’s policies.

  3. Save your changes.

4. Editing Existing Absence Types

Absence settings can be updated at any time:

  1. Go to Settings → Absences.

  2. Click Edit next to the relevant absence type.

  3. Update the settings and save the changes.

Important:
Absences that have already been added to the work schedule are not automatically recalculated when settings are changed.
To apply new settings, the existing absence entry must be removed from the schedule and added again.

5. Deleting Absence Types

To delete an absence type:

  1. Open Settings → Absences.

  2. Click the X icon at the end of the absence you want to remove.

Note:
Deleting an absence type does not remove absences that have already been added to the work schedule.
