Keep track of employee absences with the help of the Absence chart. Choose the most convenient way to record an absence:

• Add absence to the chart
• Add absence using calendar
• Add absence using workflow

Add absence to the chart

To add a new absence record, do the following:

1. Go to the Company section;

2. Select Absence chart under the Time and reports tab;

3. Click the Add Entry button in the upper right corner.

Then proceed with the new entry form completion:

1. Pick the absent person from the list of employees.

   

2. Select the Type of absence from the drop-down list.

   

3. Specify the information in the Reason for absence and Time of absence fields, and then click Add.

   If you need to schedule more than one absence in a day, specify the exact time of the event by clicking Set time.
   

Done! Now you can add other scheduled absences or close the form.

Once added, the event will appear in the Absence chart. Click on it to view more details. Here you can also access the options to edit or delete it.

Add absence using calendar

Any employee can register an absence using a special option in the calendar event. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Calendar and add an event;

2. Expand the More section in the new event form;

3. Under Availability, select Away (add to absence chart).

Such absences are marked in gray in the Absence chart since they belong to the Personal Calendars type.

Add absence using workflow

Also, you can add an absence using the standard Leave Approval workflow. Here's how:

1. Navigate to Feed;

2. Select Workflows in the new message form;

3. Then select the Leave Approval workflow.

   

4. Specify the dates and absence type, then click Send.

   

Once your request is approved, the absence will appear in the chart automatically.
